Mohawk-Hudson Bike-Hike Trail
When: 24 Oct 2026
8:00 AM
Location: Mohawk-Hudson Bike-Hike Trail, Albany County
Coordinator: Naomi Lloyd <naomi_kestrel...>
On this trip along the Mohawk River and its backwaters in Niskayuna, we will look for waterfowl, gulls, and sparrows. Our walk will take us east past farm fields and Niska Isle, usually the most productive stretch. We will retrace our path and check for waterfowl at Lock 7. This is approximately 3.5 miles total. The meeting place has been changed in an effort to avoid the crowds of runners and bikers. We will be walking downriver for a change!
Meet at 8:00 a.m. at the parking area where the Trail crosses Lock 7 Road. Bring a spotting scope if you wish to scan the waterfowl groups.
