Field trips are free and open to the public.  Novice birders (and non birders too!) are welcome.  In some cases, trips will be designated for novices in particular.  If you are planning to join us on a field trip, you should notify the leader whose telephone number is listed with the trip details.   Please call at a reasonable hour as most birders turn in early!.

Whisky Hollow & Vicinity
May 24, Saturday ¾ day
Joe Brin: 638-8309
Traditional Spring migrants and breeding birds trip to the
special gorge which is an Important Bird Area and partly
protected by Save the County. We’ll look for several
vireos, Cerulean, Hooded, and Morning Warblers;
Scarlet Tanager; Barred Owl, which nests there; and
Acadian Flycatcher, found only a few places in Region
5. Moderate to difficult due to a few steep, muddy trails.

Three Rivers Wildlife Management Area
May 31, Saturday, about ¾ day
Joe Brin: 638-8309
As level as Whisky Hollow is steep, with paths through
woods and brushy fields, for many warblers and
sparrows. There may be both Bald Eagle and an Osprey
nest. Easy.

Onondaga Creek
June 7, Saturday about ½ day
Catherine Landis: 445-1760
This walk along the creek in Catherine’s Forestry Study
Area, with its brushy fields and woods, will possibly
include new locations. Herons, a few ducks, vireos
and warblers, Catherine’s special Willow Flycatcher,
Baltimore Orioles at their nest and other passerines, all
potential nesters. Easy.
