Dionondehowa will hold its annual birdwalk from 9 a.m. to noon on May 11 on the Sanctuary, near Shushan.
Celebrating International Migratory Bird Day, this walk of moderate difficulty is guided by bird enthusiast Nat Parke. A variety of habitats, including orchard, fields, wetland and streams, offers variety of migrating and nesting species. Participants will also learn about the Sanctuary's Long-grass Nesting Project for ground-nesting birds who've lost habitat in the Midwest US.
A donation of $12 is suggested to support Dionondehowa's many programs. For more information and to reserve a place, call 518-854-7764 or email [email protected]. Attention will be given to the presence of ticks and tick-checks will be offered at the conclusion of the walk, but participants are encouraged to dress tick-appropriately.
