Spring Field Trips
The complete schedule of spring field trips is now on the Calendar of Events page.
Saturday, May 19 5:00 PM Annual Meeting
We will be meeting at the Lakeside Shelter as usual for our annual meeting. This is down the hill from the Corps of Engineers visitor center on the west side of the lake. The chapter will provide meet and bread. Bring a covered dish, desert, or other food item. Also bring your plate and utensils. Also bring your binoculars because their are always birds around. Call Doug at 937-324-1871 to let him know if you are coming so that we know how much food to bring.
Saturday, April 28 7:30 AM Davey Woods Nature Preserve
We will meet at the usual place at Buck Creek State Park for this walk. We will then carpool to the nature preserve in Champaign County. We might not have a long list on this walk but there are some interesting birds to look for. Ovenbirds should be back and we often see Pileated Woodpeckers. We have seen a Barred Owl in the preserve. We also hope to see Cerulean Warblers. Call Doug Overacker at 937-324-1871 for more information.
Saturday, May 5 7:30 AM Buck Creek State Park
I'm sorry I left this trip off our schedule. We will meet at the usual place at the corner of Croft and Robert Eastman Roads. We should see lots of birds on this trip. Warblers should be at their peak and many other migrants will be passing through. Most of the nesting species will also be back. Terns and a few shorebirds could also be passing through. This is a half day trip. Call Doug Overacker at 324-1871 for more information.
