Annual Spring Bird Walk
Join us this Saturday, May 24th, as Dr. Tom Langen, a longtime member of our board of directors, will lead a bird walk at Upper and Lower Lakes Wildlife Management Area outside Canton from 8-10:30am. To ensure all can hear and the birds aren't disturbed, the walk is limited to 15 people. Please e-mail the St. Lawrence Land Trust (stlawlandtrust at stlawlandtrust.org) with your interest and how many plan to join. This WMA is recognized as an Important Bird Area, and has high diversity of bird species typical of the St. Lawrence Valley, including several that are considered species of greatest conservation need such as Golden-winged Warbler, Bobolink, and Black Tern. We will walk the Middle Lake access road off CR 14 (about 2 miles down CR 14 from the intersection with Route 11 toward Rensselaer Falls). The walk is flat and about a mile long each way (2 miles roundtrip).
