PRESQUE ISLE AUDUBON FIELD TRIPS
WILL RESUME IN APRIL 2022 Yes! It’s been a long time coming, but our bi- weekly birding field trips will resume in late April 2022. As always, Presque Isle Audubon hosted field trips are open to the public for people of all ages and skill levels and are free of charge. Unless otherwise specified, any field trips on Presque Isle will meet at the Stull Center parking lot at 7:45AM where we will then carpool to our designated trail. All trips are subject to change depending on trail conditions. We will bird in almost any weather unless there is a torrential downpour or a forecast for dangerous conditions. Warm and waterproof clothing and shoes are recommended, especially for trips earlier in the schedule. Slip on waterproof boots can come in handy. Bring your binoculars of course, but we will have a few pairs of binoculars available for use if you or someone you bring doesn’t have them. If you have a spotting scope, you are welcome to bring it. Please contact us at info@presqueisleaudubon.com with any questions or comments related to these field trips. FIELD TRIP SCHEDULE Unless otherwise stated trips will be 8AM- 11AM but participants are welcome to join or leave at their leisure. These trips are scheduled for Saturday mornings. April 23rd: Dead Pond Trail, Thompson Circle, Thompson Bay, marshy area across from Thompson Circle for local songbirds, woodpeckers, waterfowl, gulls, terns May 7th: Fry’s Landing and banding station for spring migrants including warblers, flycatchers as well as local breeding birds returning from wintering grounds.
