SPRING MIGRATION AT WILSON STATE PARK
April 25 @ 7:00 am - 12:00 pm
Much of this walk can be done on paved roads through the pine lined campground and around the alder swamp but a network of trails also provides access to mixed hardwood forest, the Little Beaver Kill, and the park pond. A special attraction for this site is the chance to hear drumming Ruffed Grouse but the first of the neotropical migrants will surely make an appearance. Please register with trip leader Peter Schoenberger (pdsis@yahoo.com ) to participate on this walk.
