Hello, I hope everyone is enjoying Summer and had a wonderful holiday weekend.
Join us for a walk through grasslands, deciduous woods, and the savannah that adjoins them. This location is known for Blue Winged Warbler, Eastern Towhee, Henslow's, Grasshopper, Vesper, Lark, Clay-Colored and Field Sparrows, Eastern Meadowlarks, Orchard Oriole, both Cuckoos among more. Common Raven have also taken up residence at Crow-Hassan and nearby locations. This park is biodiverse and rich in wildlife viewing opportunities other than avifauna as well, such as nearly 100 wildflowers, butterflies, Rusty Patched Bumblebee, turtles (Blanding's are possible), snakes (Bullsnakes and Western Hognose), deer, foxes, and coyotes. Mosquitos and ticks are to be expected, please plan accordingly with full length pants and shirts, and insect repellant. Trails will be gravel and turf, sometimes uneven and some sections are primarily sugar sand so footware featuring ankle support is recommended. Registration is required, limit of 10 individuals. 8/10 slots are currently available, please visit the Signup Genius link<https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0F48A9AC2FA5FFCE9-50088654-crow#/> for more information and registration: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0F48A9AC2FA5FFCE9-50088654-crow#/ ---- General information and guidelines for posting: https://moumn.org/listservice.html Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html During the pandemic, the MOU encourages you to stay safe, practice social distancing, and continue to bird responsibly.
