Hello, I trust that you are all enjoying a bird-filled May, but June is almost here and with it, nesting bird season. I have a field trip planned at an excellent location for finding choice prairie, Oak savannah, and woodland species at Crow Hassan on June 3rd. Species that are likely establishing nesting territory here include: Blue Winged Warbler, Eastern Towhee, Henslow's, Grasshopper, Vesper, Lark, Clay-Colored and Field Sparrows, Eastern Meadowlarks, Orchard Oriole, Yellow-Billed and Black-Billed Cuckoo (both more difficult than the formerly listed) among more. Resident Common Ravens are also frequently found at Crow Hassan.
We will meet at 6:30AM at the main trailhead. Registration is required, to sign up and see more information, please open the following link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0f48a9ac2fa5ffce9-crow#/ I hope you'll consider joining me. Please reach out to me for any questions or comments.
