Participants will tour portions of the state forest in search of notable resident species. These include Red-shouldered & Broad-winged Hawks, Pileated Woodpecker, Acadian, Alder, and Willow Flycatchers, 10-15 warbler species including Mourning, Canada, Hooded, Pine, and Cerulean Warblers, as well as Grasshopper, Henslow’s, and Clay-colored Sparrows. Occasionally, we encounter late migrants such as Olive-sided and Yellow-bellied Flycatchers. 

A state park entrance fee is required at some sites we visit. Bring good walking shoes, because there will be quite a bit of hiking, though leisurely. Most trails are well groomed.

To register, check back here closer to the trip date. Please note that pre-registration on the WSO website is now required for field trip attendees, which includes the signing of waivers. Trip details will be emailed to registrants (including the link to a Google map) a few days prior to that event.
