It was multi-generational and a very easy and accessible walk as well; so people with canes, walkers, and motorized carts were able to fully participate. It had a very beginner and neighborly feel to the walk. Here is the online preview story by Simon Wheeler, http://www.ithacajournal.com/story/news/2016/04/02/cayuga-bird-club-teachs-stewart-park/82558768/ and there might be one also in the newspaper (today?). The next Stewart Park bird walk will be Sunday, 4/10, 9am (led by long-time birder Dave Nutter, co-led by Sandy Wold). Meet at the Fuertes Overlook (aka Swan Pond/Cascadilla Boat House); bring binoculars if you have them. You don't have to have binoculars as there will be a scope. If heavy rain, it would be cancelled; but not if snow. Please share to get the word out! Stewart Park is such an amazing place!!!
