FALL MIGRANTS AT JOHN BURROUGHS’ WOODCHUCK LODGE
September 14 @ 8:00 am - 12:00 pm
PRE-REGISTER with Mark DeDea (forsythnature@aol.com ) to join on this JBWL/JBNHS co-sponsored bird walk around this picturesque property and charming farm house that was JB’s last home and serves as his final resting place. This area in the western Catskills was also where JB spent his childhood and first gained appreciation for the natural world. It is an area who’s small valleys and rivulets had a similar impact on the trip leader and a place hoped to visit more regularly in partnership with our sister organization. The birding should be rewarding too!
