Bird Walk w/ Delaware Otsego Audubon Society

Sat June 29, 8-9:30am

Join DOAS Director Charlie Scheim, Bird Sightings author Sandy Bright, and The Uplands’ Environmental Director for a morning bird walk at The Uplands Center in Walton, NY (2641 Dunk Hill Road) on Saturday June 29 at 8:00am. Our focus will be on observing birds and their breeding behaviors.

The Uplands Center has acres of fields and forests, great habitat for breeding birds. We will meet just outside the main lodge. The walk will begin on a mostly level grassy path through a large field where we will likely find a number of grassland species. We will then follow a path through a wooded area with some gentle uphills and downhills, seeking woodland inhabitants. There are accessible rest rooms at the walk’s beginning and end and some rest spots along the way. The walk will likely last about an hour and a half.

This program is free and there is no pre-registration required. You may call Charlie Scheim at 607-434-4880 for more information or for any last minute weather concerns.
