SUMMARY:SHOREBIRDS 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 shorebirds not always easy to locate in county. After a tough evening of scanning the water chestnut pads for peeps we will try to recuperate over a soft serve cone post outing at Port Ewen’s Frozen Rainbow. Meet trip leader Wendy Tocci (wtocci@gmail.com ) at Scenic Hudson’s Esopus Meadows Preserve (269 River Road Ulster Park\, NY 12487) at 6:00 p.m. The party will likely walk the very short distance to the lighthouse park where parking is limited\, so parking at Esopus Meadows Preserve is encouraged.

Children are welcome and encouraged\, but please do not bring pets. Contact the field trip leader Steve Chorvas (schorvas@gmail.com ) for additional information or directions. This joint ECC/JBNHS Environmental Education walk is free and open to the public. Pre-registration is not required\, but recommended in the event of unforeseen changes or cancellation.
