May 11, 2024 is International Migratory Bird Day. The Conservancy will be hosting a Birds of Forest and Fields walk in honor of this. We will be starting at 8:00 a.m., at 174 Craig Road (entrance of Kimberly Run Natural Area) and walking the Blue Trail to search for forest birds. At about 9:30-10:00 we will drive over to the Menser addition (583 Menser Road) to KRNA to walk around one of the fields to search for more open country birds. This is usually the peak of migration, and with a little help from the weather we hope to see or hear 30- 40 or more bird species. Your host for the walk will be Jeff Payne, with perhaps some other local birders. Sturdy walking shoes, binoculars (we’ll have a couple spares), insect repellent, and a bottle of water are recommended. Folks can participate in the whole walk or either half as desired. Please RSVP by May 9 to somersetconservancyevents@gmail.com so we know how many are coming and can contact you in case of last minute changes.
