Description
Join local birding enthusiast and retired outdoor educator, Peter Rasberry, for some Spring birding at the Isaac Lake Management Area Tuesday, May 19. Raindate Wednesday, May 20.
225 species have been recorded here on eBird. This hike date should put us smack in the middle of spring migration which bodes well for both warblers and waterfowl, and a host of other songbirds.
All levels of birding welcome! This hike is a family friendly hike - is a "walk, sit/stand, listen/observe" type of hike.
Binoculars would be helpful. Wear a hat, longsleeved shirt/pants. A bug net may be helpful. Bring a light backpack to carry water, snacks, bird ID guides, insect repellent and personal materials. A portable sit-stool/lawn chair is optional.
Binoculars and bird ID guides are available to borrow from your local Bruce County library - book ahead. This bird hike will be about 2 hours in duration. Participants are welcome to linger longer after the group hike.
A portapottie is available at the boat launch.
