Description
Join Assistant Director of Sustainability Julia Sparks in her favorite spring pastime - birding!Starting near the Colgate Cemetery, we will walk through the Colgate forests in search of year-long avian residents in addition to some of the earlier migratory songbirds that have made the return trip from their southern wintering grounds. Check out the 98 species identified on Colgate's trails on the eBird list. Along the way, we will also look out for blooming spring ephemeral wildflowers in the forest understory.The group will walk at a slow pace and will cover about one mile over the course of the walk. Binoculars will be provided, but you are encouraged to bring your own, if you have them. Please wear sturdy walking shoes and take precautions against ticks. All are welcome regardless of skill or experience.We will walk rain or shine!This event is part of the Office of Sustainability’s 13 Days of Green series leading up to Earth Day.
