Join us as we explore the varied habitat of the Horn Pond Conservation
area. As we are nearing the end of the migration period, we will searching
for lingering migrants – IF there is a Mourning Warbler this is the time to
find one - and resident birds such as Orchard Orioles, Swallows, Eastern
Phoebes, Warbling Vireos, Yellow Warblers and Rose-breasted Grosbeaks. On
this unique walk, we will be searching some of the back trails and moving
at a faster pace than normal and traveling up some steeper, rockier paths.
Thus please plan accordingly as the walk will have uneven terrain; muddy
areas are expected due to the ongoing rains. Meet at the Sturgis Street
entrance 7:00 AM - 9:30 AM Paul Ippolito <paulippolito295...>
If you are interested in leading a trip, please reach out to Alan Ankers,
Renee LaFontaine or myself, the club would be so lucky to have you lead.
Please continue to post your observations.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
