Avid Birders Schedule: 2011 – 2012

Here are the Saturday dates for Avid Birders outings for the coming year. The destinations will in most cases be decided a day or two ahead of time to take advantage of the best birding possibilities. Members on our e-mail list will get notifications of the plans by the preceding Thursday whenever possible. Unusual outings—ones that may require a night spent away, travel outside Ohio, or extra expenses, etc.—will be announced well in advance via e-mail notices. If you want to be included on the e-mail list, please send an email to the Avid Birders.

All trips depart at 5:30 am with carpooling from the southeast corner of the Worthington Mall parking lot. (Worthington Mall is located on the northwest corner of High Street and Wilson Bridge Road, just south of I-270.)  Return times vary with the destination and season, but yuou can assume that we will spend most of the day birding and traveling. We usually stop at a fast food spot on the way to our first destination. Bring a sack lunch, water, and snacks as needed for sustenance during the day. Please reimburse your driver for travel expenses. Dress appropriately; remember that the weather to our north, particularly along the windy Lake Erie shore, often is a lot colder than that in Columbus.
