Spring Birding Wildcard
April 17, 2016 @ 3:00 am - 8:00 am
Meet trip leader Peter Schoenberger (pdsis@yahoo.com ) at the Ashokan Reservoir parking lot known as the “donut”. This is located near the Frying Pan portion of the lower basin. From the south end of the Dividing Weir travel down hill and take a left on Rt. 28A and proceed for about a mile and a half to a sharp left into the driveway to the parking area. This is a great time of year to check the the reservoir for ducks, grebes, and loons. Spotting scope is recommended. Contact Peter with any questions.
