Just a reminder - the Finger Lakes Land Trust Spring Bird Quest (FLLT SBQ) will take place over Memorial Day weekend. I'll be visiting Land Trust preserves, tallying bird species, and raising money to support the Land Trust. Many thanks to those who have pledged so far. If you haven't pledged yet, but would like to, please contact me off-list.
I'll also be offering four guided walks through Land Trust preserves near Ithaca. Please note the addition of a Saturday walk. All birders of all ages and skill levels are welcome, but please note that one walk will involve strenuous hiking on very steep trails. Saturday, May 28 8:00-10:00 AM (or possibly ending a bit later) Sweedler Preserve at Lick Brook Ithaca Park along Town Line Road, just off Sandbank Road. Meet at the trailhead along the road, just before the bridge over Lick Brook. ****THIS WALK WILL INVOLVE STRENUOUS HIKING ON VERY STEEP TRAILS.**** Sunday, May 29 8:00-11:00 AM Lindsay-Parsons Biodiversity Preserve West Danby Meet in the preserve parking lot along Routes 34 and 96. Monday, May 30 6:30-8:00 AM Goetchius Wetland Preserve Caroline Meet along Flatiron Road near the southern end of the preserve. 8:30 AM-11:00 AM Park Nature Preserve (Baldwin Tract) Dryden Meet in the parking lot along Irish Settlement Road. I hope to see many of you this weekend!
