Join Janelle Jones, NY Land Steward, for a walk through deciduous forests, past beaver wetlands, and alongside wild stretches of the Grasse River. This land is managed as a wilderness preserve; there are no official trails, but old logging roads sometimes create a clear path to walk on. Participants should be prepared for mud and wet boots. Birders of all experience levels are invited; beginners are encouraged to attend. Species we can hope to see and/or hear are: Ruffed Grouse, Broad-winged Hawk, Veery, a wide variety of warblers, and possibly Wood Ducks.

Meeting location: Parking is limited at the main entrance to the preserve. Exact directions to parking will be given upon registration. Please respect all neighboring private property.

Bring: Binoculars, camera (if desired), snack, water, insect/tick repellent, sun protection, appropriate footwear and clothing

Group size is limited to 10. This field trip is co-sponsored between Northern New York Audubon and Northeast Wilderness Trust.
