SUMMARY:American Woodcocks at Jerry Smith Park
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we meet just before sunset in search of American Woodcocks! These birds generally display near the parking lot and along the trails of the prairie near the parking lot. The temperature tends to fall rapidly at dark; please dress for the weather and bring a flashlight as a short walk along the trail is possible. Meet at the Jerry Smith Trailhead Parking lot at the top of the ridge for a short 15-minute presentation about the aerial displays and courtship behavior of these birds. Feel free to arrive at 6:00 PM if you have already heard the presentation. Master naturalists who attend for the first time get 1 hour of advanced training for the talk and viewing. \nDirections: From Holmes Rd\, turn EAST at 139th St and travel approximately a mile to the 2nd drive on the LEFT; the first drive goes to a private residence. The park sign can’t be seen coming from this direction. From I-49\, take the Main St. exit and turn WEST. Drive through downtown Grandview and across the railroad tracks to the first street on your LEFT. This is 2nd St. Turn LEFT and travel approximately 2 miles to the park entrance; the sign can be seen coming from this direction. The road does wind around and change names until it becomes 139th St. \nYour leader for this trip is Sherry Leonardo (816/718-5888 or home172@aol.com).  There are NO make-up dates. These programs are very weather-dependent. Any cancellation will be posted on Burroughs website by 3 pm day of the program. Please be sure to dress appropriately-it tends to be colder than people expect.

SUMMARY:Jerry Smith Park Winter Bird Census
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we visit this restored prairie and city park to conduct a winter bird census. We will walk the trails in search of winter resident species that might include Kinglets\, Sparrows\, Brown Creeper\, Hermit Thrush\, Sharp-shinned Hawk\, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker\, and for the Townsend’s Solitaire that was found at the park in December. In addition\, we expect to find year-round residents that inhabit this city park. \nMeet leader Sherry Leonardo (816/718-5888 or home172@aol.com) at the Jerry Smith Trailhead parking lot at the top of the ridge. Dress for the weather and walking along the approximately 1.5 mile outdoor trail. In case of inclement weather or frigid wind chills\, this trip may be rescheduled. Feel free to bring snacks and beverages in addition to your binoculars and warm clothes. \nThis census assists KC WildLands and their ongoing mission toward land stewardship around the Kansas City Metro region. Counting birds at this park counts toward volunteer hours for Master Naturalists.
