Late Addition to Field Trip Schedule
Saturday, December 11, 2010        NIGHT OWLS AND HOT DOGS    3:30 PM Five Rivers Environmental Education Center
 
Joint trip of Five Rivers, HMBC and the Audubon Society of the Capital Region.  Field parties will visit likely owl roosts along
Five Rivers trails, then gather at a roaring campfire to compare findings. Complimentary hot dogs and hot drinks will answer the
question “who cooks for you?”  A hot fire, hot dogs and hot chocolate are always guaranteed; last year the owls were a distinct
bonus!  Please call the Center at (518) 475-0291 to register by Wednesday, December 8.

Brief Listing of Upcoming Field Trips
The Hudson-Mohawk Bird Club strongly encourages all of its members to make the welfare of birds and bird habitats their top priority while birding.  The Club has officially endorsed the American Birding Association's Code of Birding Ethics as its ethical standard for organized Club field trips. A copy of that code may be read at this ABA web page

Lyme Disease
This is something that all birders need knowledge about.  There are several good internet links for this disease.  Lyme Disease Page

These guidelines have been condensed from the full text that may be found in our Member Field Trip schedule.  You and all your questions about birds, birding, and HMBC are welcome on all trips. Field Trip Guidelines
