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. If water chestnut harvesting provides landing pads\, there might be 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 the new Jolly Cow 2 (old Frozen Rainbow). 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:BUS TRIP TO JAMAICA BAY WILDLIFE REFUGE

This trip is open to members and non-members and early registration is strongly encouraged.\n\nTo reserve your seat on the bus:\n\nPay By Mail: Make checks payable to John Burroughs Natural History Society ($47 per person). Mail to:\nLin Fagan\, Treasurer\n281 West Chestnut St.\nKingston\, NY 12401 \nOR \nPay Online: \n \n  \n  \n  \nFull refund before July 1; thereafter $10 refund until August 1. Please understand\, there can be no refunds after August 1. \nThis trip will be held rain or shine\, though extreme weather conditions predicted within days of the trip will cause cancellation and warrant full refunds. \nOverview: We will explore the East and West Ponds areas of the Refuge. 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). For some this might be the option for the day. 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: Participants should bring snacks\, beverages\, and lunches with them. There will be no stop for food and none available at the refuge. \nAbout Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge\nTides on 8/19/23: Low tide 4:52 a.m. High tide 11:10 a.m. \nBirds of Jamaica Bay checklist and eBird Hot Spots information\nhttps://www.nps.gov/gate/learn/nature/birds.htm\nhttps://ebird.org/hotspot/L165143?yr=all&m=&rank=mrec\nhttps://ebird.org/hotspot/L109145?yr=all&m=&rank=mrec\nhttps://ebird.org/hotspot/L109144?yr=all&m=&rank=mrec \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). \nFall shorebird migration is the most popular time for birders to visit the refuge and August usually provides the greatest diversity. The bus will arrive perfectly to coincide with a rising tide in the bay and the subsequent movement of shorebirds to the exposed mud shores of the East Pond. \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.
