Fall Bird Migration Field Trip | ONE

Pockets of fall migration bird activity are exciting to find in the open landscape of the Marolt Open Space, where clusters of native shrubs in perimeter areas and stands of trees provide excellent foraging and cover.  Join us for a morning field trip to explore this special area that is a hotspot for mixed flocks of migrating songbirds as well as a National Historic Register site. Target birds for this outing include various warbler and sparrow species, tanagers, orioles, bluebirds, and more.  We get some practice with field marks of adult and immature plumages.

This class requires advance registration to ensure appropriate planning for the field experience. 

Meeting location will be communicated ahead of time to registered participants.
