EMPIRE STATE TRAIL/SOJOUNER TRUTH STATE PARK BIRDING
November 23 @ 8:00 am - 12:00 pm
A morning to remember everyone’s favorite Beatle with a warm, caloric breakfast snack and some Birds & Beans coffee to help. If time allows we may even look for some birds along the dramatically improved Empire State Trail once known as “Immigrant’s Way” and maybe stroll up to the state park lot if it’s left unmowed and birdy. We will meet at the Kingston Point Beach parking lot to scan for gulls and waterfowl and can then put our scopes away for a leisurely and easy walk on a paved trail with our binoculars. Please register with Mark DeDea ( forsythnature@aol.com ) so I know how much bread pudding make.
