Description
This Spring & Migration Monitor Hike is an easy, low-impact, out and back stroll along the Cape Chin Drive Way to the Cape Chin Point. This will be a weather dependent hike. We will take a break at Cape Chin to observe the changing shoreline that stretches to the South. We may return to the cars via Cape Chin Meadows depending on conditions. Will the Sandhills have returned to the Cape Chin wetlands (usually return by March 1)? Will we see returning Eastern bluebirds that make the Cape Chin meadows their home (observation is Mar 22)? Bring you binoculars and keen sense of observation. Open to everyone! On Apr 5, special guest will be Sheilagh Rose who will talk about growing up in a family of passionate amateur field naturalists who worked tirelessly on the restoration of the Eastern bluebird population in Oro Medonte.
