Dans Mountain is prime habitat for many species of songbirds that only nest in forests. These birds, like the scarlet tanager, yellow-throated vireo and ovenbird, use the shelter of dense woods to protect their eggs and young. In the spring and summer, the forest is filled with bright flashes of color as the birds fly from tree to tree, singing out their territorial claims. The Audubon Society has designated Dan’s Mt. a State Significant Bird Area. In the winter, the tracks of bobcats, black bears or coyotes are frequently seen.
