Due to extreme temperatures this weekend, the bird walk at the East River Valley Park has been cancelled. We would have really liked to get some good winter birding planned, but this season just hit us wrong both times we had walks planned. So, we are working on trying to get something set up for later in February hopefully. If anybody would like to lead a short walk on a Saturday morning, please let me know. You can pick the date, meeting time, & location.
Tyler Harms will be leading a bird walk on Saturday, January 24 at 8:00 am. It will be at the East River Valley Park. Please meet in the parking lot near Carr Park by the bridge that crosses the river. If you have any questions about the walk before then, email Tyler at: tyharms@gmail.com. Please make sure to put 'Bird Walk' in the subject line.
Monthly field trips are free and open to the public.
Participants will meet the group at the field trip site unless an alternate meeting place is announced to facilitate carpooling.Unless it is stated otherwise, the field trips will generally end sometime between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM, depending on interest and success in finding birds.
Field trips will almost always involve at least some hiking, usually away from hardened surfaces and often in less-than-ideal conditions. Please come prepared with appropriate dress and footwear. It is very highly recommended that all participants have their own pair of binoculars.
If it should be cancelled for any reason, we will let everyone know a few hours ahead of time. We will also let everyone know if/when a February walk has been planned.
