Birding at La Cygne Reservoir and Wildlife Area
May 7 @ 8:00 am - 12:00 pm
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.
