[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma Birding Tour 10/20
Wednesday 10/20/21 1:30-4 p.m. Join Montezuma Audubon Center staff for a birding tour this autumn, and you won't be disappointed! The weather looks wonderful on Wednesday and there is an abundance of migratory as well as year-round resident birds in the Montezuma Wetlands Complex. We are beginning to welcome waterfowl back to the marshes including a variety of ducks, geese, and swans, as they migrate to (or through) Montezuma for the winter months. Sandhill Crane numbers are increasing by the day, and it’s a real treat to see and hear them arrive! Bald Eagles, Northern Harriers, and Peregrine Falcons are also always as possibility as well. This tour takes place in your own vehicle as you follow behind the Audubon touring van. Participants will receive a conference call phone number to hear the Audubon educator narrate the tour and ask questions between stops. * Fee: $5/child, $10/adult, $30/family * Suitable for ages 5 and up * Space is limited and pre-paid online reservations are required. * TO REGISTER: https://act.audubon.org/a/montezuma-birding-tour-102021 * Meet at the Montezuma Audubon Center (2295 State Route 89, Savannah, NY) for a prompt departure. Please arrive 15 minutes early to use the restroom and check-in.
