Saturday, April 27, ANN LEE POND (Albany County; morning)

Coordinator: Tom and Colleen Williams 518-857-2176 trwdsd@yahoo.com

Ann Lee Pond is a shallow 10-acre pond located near Albany International Airport in the Town of Colonie. In late April, waterfowl, swallows, and early warblers should be present. Baltimore and Orchard Orioles may have just arrived if the weather has warmed, feeding in the blooming apple trees of the orchard across Heritage Lane. We’ll view the orchard area, then take the red loop trail around the pond back to the parking area, which is about one mile in length. Footwear appropriate for muddy trails is suggested.

Meet at 7:30 a.m. in the parking lot of Ann Lee Pond on Heritage Lane, across from the historic Shaker apple orchard.
