Join Hobie Iselin and Peggy MacLeod exploring the mixed conifer and deciduous forest, flooded forest wetland and marshes in search of Brown Creeper, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Winter Wren, Pine Siskin, and Belted Kingfisher, with a sprinkling of hawks, ducks, and woodpeckers. Plan on traveling 1.5–2 miles on fairly flat, uneven terrain with some muddy areas depending upon recent rainfall. There is an option to climb up several steps to an elevated bird observatory overlooking the marsh. The terrain on this short trail is more difficult. 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)
