Quarry Farm to host Spring Migration Hike
PANDORA—Join The Quarry Farm Nature Preserve & Conservation Farm's annual “Spring Migration Hike” on Saturday, May 20 from 8:00-10:30 a.m.
Birders should dress for the weather in earth-toned colors and sturdy hiking shoes that can get muddy. They'll be walking with stops to look and listen for migrating and resident birds. What they see will be documented on Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s ebird and shared with any participants who want to share their email. Bring binoculars and cameras are welcome.
Parking signs will be displayed and hikers should meet in the Seitz Family Pavilion for a brief meet-and-greet before heading out on the nature preserve trails. (Note: Organizers won’t use bird songs on devices to draw the birds in, especially during breeding season when they have enough to contend with. Sensitive species may leave the area if they hear a rival.)
The Quarry Farm Nature Preserve & Conservation Farm, a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization, is located 1/8 mile north of 14321 Road 7L, Pandora. For more information, call 567-376-0705 or visit www.thequarryfarm.org and The Quarry Farm on Facebook and Instagram.
