SUMMARY:BREEDING BIRDS AND BUTTERFLIES
DESCRIPTION:The Esopus Creek Conservancy and John Burroughs Natural History Society are co-sponsoring a guided nature walk at Esopus Bend Nature Preserve in Saugerties on Saturday\, June 15\, 2024 to observe summer breeding birds and butterflies. We will identify birds by sight and sound as we explore the Preserve’s woodlands\, wetlands\, and meadow\, pausing along the way to observe the diversity of plant and animal life that inhabit the Preserve. As the morning temperatures rise\, we will focus our attention on early summer butterflies active in the Preserve at this time of the year. Bring binoculars\, insect repellant and field guides if you have them. Be prepared for potentially wet/muddy trails\, tall grass\, and dress according to weather conditions. Light rain often makes for excellent birding and nature observation\, but will inhibit or eliminate most butterfly activity. Heavy rain will cancel the walk. Children are welcome and encouraged\, but please do not bring pets. Please register with the field trip leader Steve Chorvas (schorvas@gmail.com) to participate and for meeting time. This joint ECC/JBNHS Environmental Education walk is free and open to the public. For additional information about upcoming ECC Nature Walks and Paddles\, please visit www.esopuscreekconservancy.org.

SUMMARY:WADERS AND ICE CREAM
DESCRIPTION:August may be hot and humid but “fall” migration is underway and the Esopus Meadows can often harbor large concentrations of waders like Great Egrets and if\, water chestnut harvesting provides landing pads\, shorebirds (not always easy to locate in county) too. After a tough evening of scanning the river for peeps and waders we recommend you try to recuperate over a soft serve cone post-outing at one of the local ice cream establishments. FIELD TRIP IS LIMITED TO 12 PARTICIPANTS. Contact Wendy Tocci (wtocci@gmail.com ) to register. Scenic Hudson’s Esopus Meadows Preserve is located at 269 River Road in the Town of Esopus.

SUMMARY:AUTUMN CATSKILL PEAKS HIKE
DESCRIPTION:This hike will tackle Hunter Mountain\, 2nd highest peak in the Catskills at 4030′. The distance is 3.5 miles to the fire tower at the summit\, which should be open for spectacular views. Ascent to this point is 1900′. From there\, depending on group consensus\, we can simply return (7 miles round trip) OR continue on to climb Southwest Hunter\, which adds only about 300′ of climbing but does add distance (10.3 miles round trip). Meet at 7:00AM at the Kingston Thruway traffic circle park & ride lot to carpool\, driving time is about an hour. Contact: Dave Hayes vireo44@gmail.com 845- 417-9251

DESCRIPTION:We’ll let trip leader Peter Schoenberger (pdsis@yahoo.com or 914 466-2707) decide the direction this field trip will go but he does love a good weedy patch full of sparrows (who doesn’t)? Maybe a “farm” visit or will a place like the\nAshokan Reservoir offer the birdiest option come field trip day? Please register in advance to find out pertinent details.
