NORTH TIVOLI BAY PADDLE
August 20, 2016 @ 4:00 am - 8:00 am
Meet Susan Fox Rogers at the North Tivoli Bay launch at 8:00 am for a morning paddle through the bay. Visit to Magdalen Island if the weather is calm. The North Bay is always filled with treasures–Snapping Turtles, Beavers, Muskrat, and a range of birds from Marsh Wrens and Swamp Sparrows to the Bald Eagles that nest just south on Cruger Island. Who knows–maybe an American Bittern will show up? Bring your own boat (pfd required!), water, sunscreen, and hat. For more information email susanfoxrogers@aol.com or call 914-714-2179. The North Tivoli Bay launch is accessed from the Kidd Lane entrance of the Tivoli Bays WMA, follow the gravel road west to its terminus (and the launch).

The field trips of JBNHS are oriented to nature study. They are free and open to the public. We do, however, sometimes visit sites that charge admission fees, which are the responsibility of the participants. Children are very welcome on field trips, but pets are not. Although there is a brief courtesy waiting period for latecomers, the meeting times are important: please arrive in time to sign up with the leader.
