Park at Roth Trailhead. We often see quite a few birds from there in the big open space. We will then cross the road to the east to meet at Fitch. (See KU Field Station for directions or GPS is 39.038524, -95.206304). We will walk on the established trails. Easy walking along the woods. Early portion is gravel turning to well-worn dirt paths. Expect a few late vireos, fall warblers, tanagers, a few late flycatchers, all the migrants moving thru on their way to the tropics as well as residents. It won’t be as wild as spring but fall migrants and juveniles can be a challenge to ID and they generally are quiet. Chiggers shouldn’t be an issue but still plan to use spray on clothing for ticks. We will plan to frequently rotate positions on the trail so that everyone has a chance to be at the front. We will probably be on the trails for several hours and walk up to 2 miles.Photo: Warbling Vireo by James Watts, Jr.
