Join Dave King on a morning prowl along wooded trails and fields through a network of conserved forest, active farmland, a forested stream and beaver wetlands to look for woodland and farmland bird species. Late migrant songbirds featuring sparrows are a possibility, as are hawks overhead. We’ll traverse 2-3 miles on wooded trails and farm roads. Be sure to wear appropriate footwear. Insect repellent is recommended. There are no facilities. We'll meet at 7:00 in the parking area at the junction of Route 116 and Sunderland Road. Questions? Contact Dave at daveking@umass.edu. Limited to 12 participants. (E/M)
