We will be walking flat trails in the wooded and brushy areas of the park, looking for thrushes, sparrows, and maybe a half-hardy warbler or two. We’ll stop by the lake watch to view ducks on the water and in flight, learning about the lake watch process. We will also explore the former CCC Camp adjacent to the park where there is a pond and brushy/forest areas. Dress appropriately for cooler weather along the lake and wear sturdy footwear. Restroom facilities are available.
Meet at 8:00 a.m. in Parking Lot 1, Hamlin Beach State Park. Spotting scopes would be useful.
