Our field trip this Saturday, August 22, will be to Lake and Ashtabula counties (Conneaut Beach, Walnut Beach and Headlands State Park). We will be looking for shorebirds and early migrating warblers. Buff-breasted Sandpiper, Red Knot, Stilt Sandpiper and Plovers have bee reported in the past few days. We will go wherever birds of interest are reported, but if time allows we may stop in Summit Vounty if the Swallow-tailed Kite is still being seen.
Meet at Cabela’s (1650 Gemini Pl, Columbus, OH 43240) at 6:00 am to arrange car pooling. Please plan to drive or bring $10 for your driver. Pack lunch, snacks and drinks. Dress for the weather, and remember sunscreen and insect repellent.
We have scheduled our next two trips:
- Saturday, September 26, when both passerine and shorebird migration will be in full swing
- October 24, when late migration is ending and winter birds are appearing
Anyone interested in spending the day birding is welcome to join, just show up at 6:00 am!
