Join us as we search for early migrating warblers and other species at the Pelots Natural Area. With southern winds and the warmer microclimate of the Champlain Valley, we hope to get a chance to see some of these “early birds” warblers on their way to nesting sites. This locale provides the opportunity to observe a variety of avian species in different ecological habitats, including fields, a sugarbush, mixed hardwoods, and a cedar stand. In addition, the area borders secluded Pelot’s Bay, marshes, and a swamp as well as offering views of the open lake. Participants will cover approximately 2.5 miles along trails over varied terrain during this outing. To ensure a pleasurable birding experience, registration is limited to twenty participants. Registration will open on April 29.
