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 where parking is limited\, so parking at Esopus Meadows Preserve is encouraged.

Proper footwear is essential for visiting the East Pond portion.  Please know that this is not a trail but a very muddy and sometimes treacherous shoreline.  The West Pond and “gardens” are much easier and have formalized trails (mostly crushed shell).

Others may choose to remain at the blinds on the smaller ponds when we cross the road.  Sun protection is essential as much of this is exposed viewing. \nWhat to Bring:  \nClothing: We will be outside all day. Pathways are likely to be very wet and muddy and possibly hazardous to unsteady walkers. Wear clothing suited to a changing weather conditions and biting insects\, especially ticks. Wear waterproof boots with secure treads for the trails and bring casual shoes for the bus ride. The refuge provides a boot-washing station\, though a small trash bag for boots is recommended. \nFood: Coolers with ice will be available for bagged lunches. Also bring a thermos for hot or cold beverages\, snacks\, bagged lunch\, and water. \nOther: gratuity for bus driver ($5 suggested). \n About Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge \nTides on 8/18/18:         Low tide 8:36 a.m. High tide 3:06 p.m. \nBirds of Jamaica Bay checklist and eBird Hot Spots information \nhttps://www.nps.gov/gate/planyourvisit/upload/birds-brochure__9-20rev.pdf \nhttp://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Jamaica+Bay+Wildlife+Refuge#Hotspots \nJamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge is one of the best places in New York City to observe migrating species. In fact\, it’s a birder’s paradise with 332 bird species sighted at the refuge over the last 25 years (38 are accidental\, and include several New York State records); that is nearly half the species in the Northeast. It is one of the most significant bird sanctuaries in the northeastern United States. Birding is excellent year-round. \nEarly fall migrants include shorebirds\, flycatchers\, vireos\, and warblers. According to Birds of Jamaica Bay\, the following are listed as Common or Abundant: Black crowned Night Heron\, Glossy Ibis\, American wigeon\, Ruddy Duck\, American Oystercatcher\, Willet\, Ruddy Turnstone\, Red knot\, Black skimmer\, and Semipalmated\, Western\, Least\, White rumped\, and Pectoral Sandpipers. \nThe Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge is open dawn to dusk year-round. In August\, the Visitor Center is open 7 days a week from 9 to 5. The Center has a bookstore\, natural history exhibit area\, restrooms\, and lecture room. There are no entrance fees to the refuge. \nThe Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge is the United States Department of Interior’s only “wildlife refuge” administered by the National Park Service. All other national refuges fall under the aegis of the United States Fish & Wildlife Service. The refuge covers 9\,000 acres (20 square miles) of open bay\, saltmarsh\, mudflats\, upland field and woods\, two man-made brackish ponds—117-acre “East Pond” and 45-acre “West Pond” and small fresh water ponds\, including Big John’s Pond. The Wildlife Refuge is part of the Gateway National Recreation Area. \n \nWest and East Ponds Map\nby R. Bourque \nClick here for printable PDF map

SUMMARY:MUSHROOM FORAGING AT THE JOHN BURROUGHS NATURE SANCTUARY
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, August 25\, 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM.\nCabin open for tours from\, Noon-4:00 PM \nBarbara Plume\, vice-president of the Mid-Hudson Mycological Association\, will be our guide on this inaugural hunt as we forage for the often-unseen mushrooms of the Nature Sanctuary. Neither plant or animal\, these fungi include highly sought-after mushrooms for diners and feared poisonous ones. Still countless other fungi play critical roles in our ecosystems\, above ground and deep below. \nWe will start with the essentials of mushrooms\, foraging for them\, and etiquette. Then in the woods\, on the ground\, deadwood\, or the sides of trees\, Barbara will reveal the ideal spots and conditions in which varieties of these fascinating fungi thrive. Possible mushrooms include hen of the woods and black trumpets. \nSpace is limited. Please register in advance at info@johnburroughsassociation.org to learn what to bring and where to meet. \n
