Bird Walk at Albany Pine Bush Discovery Center- Karner Barrens East
8 am to 11:30 ish
Free, donations are welcome.
We'll be looking for early migrants.
Please bring your binoculars and field notebook or Ebird app to keep records. Water and other necessities for an easy to moderate hike.
This hike is a 3-4 hour hike. This hike is a bit more advanced. There are roots, steep sections with and without "stairs", and it is about 3 miles round trip.
If there are enough people, we can split up into groups for faster walkers, slower walkers and birders, and/or if some people want to take the 1 mile blue trail, you can take a shorter walk. The Pine Bush management recommends a maximum of 15 people in a group to protect the environment.
I think the outdoor restrooms are open at this time, but you may want to go before you arrive. They will for sure be open when the learning center opens at 10 am.
We'll meet under the "tent" near the outdoor restrooms.
