Join Bill Randolph and explore the diverse habitats surrounding the nature center including flood plain forest, marshes, the Connecticut River oxbow and grasslands in search of nesting waterfowl, herons, grassland sparrows, bald eagles, and other raptors. Plan on walking 2–3 miles on mostly flat, uneven terrain with a few muddy areas depending on rainfall this spring. There's an option to climb a 25 foot spiral staircase to a bird observatory over Hulbert's Pond. It's a good idea to bring repellent for ticks and mosquitos. We will meet at 9:00 am in the Arcadia nature center parking lot at 127 Combs Road in Easthampton. Limited to 12 participants. Please register online at least two days in advance of the trip.
