Join us as Allan Gilbert leads this outing beginning with a few stops at local marshes and farmer’s fields. A visit to the boat launch will give the group an opportunity to look for Peregrine Falcons. The highlight of the outing is the hike at Mink Mountain to view the area birds and vegetation. Please wear clothing suited for the day and bring a snack and beverage along. Bring your binoculars for bird and scenery viewing. This trip will begin at 7:30 am and should finish up between 1 and 2 pm. Please contact Allan to secure your spot at 768-8582.
Note: Due to the absence of bluebird eggs in the nesting boxes along the birding route, coupled with the long grass which has yielded ticks, There are very few nest boxes inhabited along the birding route this spring, therefore there are no bluebird eggs or offspring. Many nest boxes have very tall grasses and shrubs nearby which has also produced a very high incidence of ticks. For these two reasons it has been decided to cancel this event for this year.
