Join Bill Randolph and explore the mixed conifer and deciduous forest, flooded forest wetland and Lake Fitzgerald in search of migrating warblers, waterfowl, raptors and herons. Plan on traveling about 3 miles on fairly flat, uneven terrain with some muddy areas depending upon recent rainfall. If time allows, there is an option to climb up to a bird observatory overlooking the marsh. It's a good idea to bring repellent for ticks and mosquitos. We will meet in the parking lot at the end of Cooke Ave (former Moose Lodge) in Northampton. Please note there are no facilities or rest areas at this location. Limited to 12 participants. (E/M)
