SUMMARY:SPRING BIRDS AND WILDFLOWERS IN SAUGERTIES
DESCRIPTION:The Esopus Creek Conservancy and John Burroughs Natural History Society are co-sponsoring a guided nature walk in woodlands and wetlands in the Town of Saugerties on Sunday\, April 28\, 2019. The first week in May is typically the peak migration period for neotropical birds at this latitude\, and early morning is the best time to see and hear recently arrived songbirds in their brilliant spring plumage. We will explore a variety of ecologically rich habitats to experience this annual rite of spring\, identifying birds by sight and sound while pausing along the way to observe a diversity of wildflowers and animal life. Meet 7:30 a.m. in the Saugerties Village Beach parking lot on Rte. 9W\, just north of the Esopus Creek bridge\, at the foot of Partition Street in the Village of Saugerties. Participants can carpool and stay for the duration\, or drive to each location and leave whenever necessary. Bring binoculars\, field guides\, and spotting scopes if you have them\, and be prepared for wet\, muddy trails\, and early spring weather conditions. Light rain often makes for excellent birding and nature observation\, but heavy rain will cancel the walk. 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.

SUMMARY:JBNHS MEETING - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:DUE TO IMPENDING STORM TONIGHT’S MEETING HAS BEEN CANCELLED  \nAt the Hudson River Maritime Museum Riverport Boat School meeting room. Meet and mingle with new and old JBNHS friends and enjoy the program by Dixon Onderdonk: ” My presentation will include highlights of cultural and biological experiences of three weeks in Northern Tanzania and Zanzibar . I will share wildlife (birds and mammals primarily) encountered on safari in five national parks (Arusha\, Tarangire\, Lake Manyara\, Serengeti and Jozani)\, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area including the Ngorongoro Crater. In addition I will discuss visits to various tribes and provide information about The School of Saint Jude’s where we spent the first six days of the trip.” (Dixon’s short essay “Three Weeks in Northern Tanzania” in the March-April 2018 Chirp gave us a taste of this trip.) Come and learn much more from Dixon in person\, with his photographs as well. Dixon started and coordinates the JBNHS Coffee Club and is a current Board member of JBNHS. There will be refreshments and a brief business meeting.
