Description
Please join us for this birding hike, led by birding enthusiasts Dick Edwards and Kate Jaczko. We will carpool to Cty Rd 9 west of Dunedin (map 22, km 10.6) and follow the trail north past a beautiful meadow where bobolinks nest in early June . We will look for singing males defending their territories. Past the meadow, the trail skirts a farm field and descends through forest to the Dunedin Nature Reserve. Here a mix of hardwoods, cedars, and a sparkling stream should provide more birds and spring wildflowers. The trail loops back to con. 10 where we back-track to bobolink meadow and then to our cars having completed 6 km double loop.
Spaces will be limited to 30 hikers, so please register in advance.
