I will be leading and fieldtrip to Redden State Forest this Saturday between 8 am and Noon. We will be meeting at the Headquarters Area off of East Redden Road east of US-113. We will be birding along the education trail and the forest roads south of the HQ building. There is a relatively clean portable toilet on site. Ticks have been fairly active here of late so I recommend you bring insect repellent with DEET to deter the little blood suckers. All of the breeding warblers expected here have returned and are on territory. With luck a nice wave of migrants will fallout in the morning as well. Ne need to let me know you are coming. I hope to see you there.
