Join Jim Lafley as we search for a unique shorebird, the Wilson's Snipe. Vultures, Killdeer, Bluebirds, Canada Geese, and ducks may also be seen. We will be walking about a 1/2 mile round trip through an orchard which is fairly flat, but uneven ground. It can be wet this time of year, so rubber or waterproof boots are recommended. Park at the Easthampton Community Garden parking lot on Park Hill Rd. Tick protection is advised. Please note there are no facilities at this location. Questions? Email Jim at jimlafley@gmail.com. Limited to 6 participants as we will be attempting to view the birds through a scope. (E/M)
