2021 FIELD TRIPS RESUME:
JUST IN TIME FOR SPRING MIGRATION We are excited to get back on the trails at Presque Isle and hope that you will join us as we resume our bi-weekly field trips!! As prior, all field trips participants will meet up in the Stull Center parking lot by 8:00 AM; from the Stull Center we will carpool/drive to our designated trail. These trips are FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC so bring a friend. We have binoculars to lend for the trip for those that do not have them or if you are looking to purchase a new pair of binoculars and would like to try out some different strengths. The park continues to experience wet conditions and high water, so boots are recommended. Our first trip will be on April 17th and we will explore Sidewalk Trail to look for early arriving Spring migrants and local birds. The spring/summer schedule is subject to change depending on weather, trail conditions (we’ll just find another trail) or unforeseen circumstances. In the case of heavy rain and wind, field trips will be cancelled. Light rain, however, can make for good birding and the show will go on! Please check our Facebook page and website frequently for any changes or updates because we may add a trip or two or do a special offsite trip if a species of interest shows up on the park or in the area. Have any questions, concerns, suggestions about field trips? Contact Michele Franz at info@presqueisleaudubon.org! April 17: Sidewalk Trail May 1: Pine Tree Trail May 15: Fry’s Landing May 29: Dead Pond Trail We will expect participants to follow CDC guidelines for Covid precautions including masking and social distancing. All binoculars will be cleaned in accordance with these guidelines as well. |
