ASHOKAN RESERVOIR BIRDWALK
November 15 @ 8:00 am - 12:00 pm
The “Rez” can provide some of the most interesting birds in Ulster County in late fall. Loons, grebes, and diving ducks are the expected targets but if conditions are right everything from lingering shorebirds to wandering winter finches can be encountered. Contact trip leader Dixon Onderdonk (dixononderdonk@gmail.com ) for meet up location and itinerary as this outing usually has a few stops. Remember to bring an extra layer of clothing and a spotting scope is always beneficial.
