I spent some time wandering around the old tobacco fields. They don't grow tobacco there any more but do use them for fruits and vegetables. I found some interesting birds out there including American Pipits and Purple Finches. I enjoyed watching a pair of Northern Flickers spending time on this evergreen.

A male House Finch stayed at the top performing guard duty for all.

A few of the old buildings still remain. Many a teenager worked in these tobacco fields back in the day, myself included. It was a dirty job but it was a way to make money. 

Eventually there will be nothing left to these old tobacco sheds but fortunately, local historians have captured a pictural record of them.
