Join Betsy Higgins and Marcia Merithew on a trip exploring the Knightville Dam area in Huntington. The trip starts with an exploration at the top of the dam, then a drive down to the road along the East Branch of the Westfield River. Highlights include flycatchers, Bank Swallows, Spotted Sandpipers, several species of warblers, and possibly cuckoos. Meet in the JFK Middle School parking lot on Bridge Road in Northampton at 7:00 am. It's about a 20-minute drive to the Knightville area. There will be a combination of walking and maybe driving on dirt roads over moderately uneven terrain. The road at the lower part may not be open but we will park and walk in as far as the group wants. End time depends on how much driving vs walking we do but we will end by noon. Porta Potties available only before we drive to the lower portion. Questions? Contact mmerithew@comcast.net. Limited to 10 participants.
