SUMMARY:Birding in Eastern Kansas Wetlands
DESCRIPTION:This trip is focused on searching for shorebirds\, waterfowl\, and whatever else is present in one of these two eastern Kansas counties wetlands. We will meet behind the bus stop in front of Price Chopper at the corner of 119th and Metcalf at 7am to carpool south. Expect a mile or more of walking on this trip as we stop at various locations.\n\nUPDATE – We will be visiting Marais des Cygnes Wildlife Area. For anyone coming from an area other than KC\, you can also meet us and Chris at the Trading Post Rest Area around 7:55. This is at the intersection of Hwy 69 and 52 in Linn County.\n\n{We plan to focus either on Browns Wetland and Antioch Marsh near Hillsdale Lake or Unit F and Unit G at Marais des Cygnes Wildlife Area. The choice of where will likely be made close to the field trip date.}\n\nThe trail to the lake at Browns Wetland and Unit F are usually not well kept and it is advised to wear pants and footwear sprayed with Permethrin or DEET to keep chiggers at bay. Bring scope and binoculars\, water\, and appropriate clothing. Individuals of all skills and experience levels are welcome to attend\, if you need some help with shorebird identification bring your field guide as we’ll help point out the differences in what we see to arrive at the identifications. This trip will likely take the entire morning and we plan to be back to vehicles shortly after noon.\n\nYour leaders for this trip are Malcolm Gold and Chris Krafft. You’ll meet Malcolm for carpooling\, and we’ll meet Chris on location. For more information\, contact Chris at chriskrafft2@gmail.com
