We will meet trip leader Sally Urdang at the front office of Forest Hill Cemetery for this 2.5 hour bird walk. Hopefully we'll catch a nice inner-city migration action. This field trip will help Sally work towards a quarterly census of the 160-acre property. We will be looking for sparrows, warblers and more. Please bring your own binoculars-there will be extras on hand. Experienced and novice birders are welcome! Bring water, appropriate clothing and walking shoes. This trip begins at 9am. Please check the Burroughs website and facebook for weather updates. Sally is a Master Naturalist with the Osage Trails chapter. Please contact her if you need more information (816/565-1839 or urdang.sal@gmail.com).

Join us for a morning of spring migration birding at Antioch Park! We’ll meet at 7:00 AM in the lower parking lot north of the office buildings near Shelter 3 (follow the road all the way into the park).

This is a small park, but a great spot to search for neotropical migrants as they move through the area.

What to bring: binoculars, water, snacks, sunscreen—whatever you usually take along for birding. Everyone is welcome, and you’re free to leave at any time that fits your schedule.

Join us for a morning of birding at La Cygne Reservoir and Wildlife Area as we explore prime habitat for flycatchers, vireos, warblers, and many other Kansas migrants and summer residents. With nearby lake headwaters, we also have a chance to spot waterfowl and egrets.

We’ll meet at 8:00 AM at the parking pull-off on Rockville Road, north of 399th Street. From Highway 69, take the 399th Street exit. Travel approximately 2 miles east to Rockville Road, then go about 1 mile north to the parking area.

We'll be walking a mile or more along county roads and roadside right-of-ways. Gravel roads may be wet, and nearby drainage ditches could hold standing water. Pants and footwear treated with Permethrin or DEET are recommended to help prevent chigger bites.

Please bring binoculars, water, and weather-appropriate clothing. Birders of all skill and experience levels are welcome. The trip will likely last most of the morning, but feel free to join or leave as your schedule allows.

Your trip leader is Chris Krafft.
