SUMMARY:SPRING CATSKILL PEAK HIKE – BALSAM AND EAGLE MTNS
DESCRIPTION:The hike will begin at Rider Holllow for a distance of around 9.4 miles roundtrip and almost 3000’ elevation gain. Estimated time 6 hours. (For this reason the time spent birding will be limited.)  \nWe will start on the Oliverea-Mapledale trail 1.75 miles to the Pine Hill-West Branch trail\, then 2.1 miles south to Eagle Mt. From there we backtrack north 3 miles to Balsam Mt. We will return via the Mine Hollow trail 2.6 miles to the car. Much of the hike above 3000’ will be through first-growth forest\, defined as “never cleared\, barked\, quarried or burned by people.” (Kudish\, 2000.) \nMeet to carpool at Kingston Thruway traffic circle at 7:00AM\, or at Rider Hollow trailhead at 8:00. Contact Dave Hayes 845-417-9251 or vireo44@gmail.com to register.  Limit 12 participants.

SUMMARY:TIVOLI BAYS BIRDING
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the tidal marshes and upland habitat of this DEC property is always rewarding with diversity nearing it’s peak in this timeframe.   Waders\, waterfowl\, raptors\, and even some near tropic migrants (spent the winter in the southeast) are reasonable expectations on this walk.  Please register with trip leader Susan Fox Rogers ( susanfoxrogers@gmail.com).  Field party will meet at the Bard College parking lot on Gatehouse Drive just north of sharp turn on Dutchess County Rt.103 and Cruger Island Road.  The group will walk down Cruger Island road to the bays and the causeway and trails will surely be muddy.  Please consider this and choose proper footwear (like muck boots).

SUMMARY:SPRING MIGRATION 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\, 2024.  Late April/early May is an exciting time for neotropical migration 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 up will be at 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.   Please contact the field trip leader\, Steve Chorvas (schorvas@gmail.com) to register and for additional information or directions.  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.
