The Chenango Bird Club will begin its summer evening birdwatching series with a leisurely stroll at Rogers Environmental Education Center’s Adams Farm property Wednesday, May 11. Meet in the main parking lot at Rogers Center at 6 p.m.
Birds are returning from migration in May and busy with courting and nesting. They vocalize frequently, making them easier to spot. Adams Farm is a great place to find birds because of the diverse habitats, good trail and easy access. Former Rogers Program Director and Chenango Bird Club member, Fred von Mechow, will lead the walk. A 22-time participant in the New Jersey Audubon Society World Series of Birding, Fred will point out birds’ visual field marks and songs. We will provide binoculars if you don’t have your own.
All are welcome and program attendees are welcome to stay for refreshments after the walk.
Save the dates for all the walks in the evening series: June 8, July 13 and Aug. 10.
The Chenango Bird Club presents monthly programs (except January, February and March). Nature enthusiasts of all levels and interests are invited to all Chenango Bird Club programs, free of charge, at the Rogers Environmental Education Center Bird Exhibit Cabin, next to the visitor parking lot. Rogers Center is located one mile west of Sherburne Village on State Highway 80.
