Wednesday, May 3, HENRY G. REIST SANCTUARY (Schenectady County; evening)

Coordinator: Tristan Lowery tristanlowery@gmail.com

Many club members may not even know that the Hudson-Mohawk Bird Club owns and operates its own wildlife sanctuary. The Henry G. Reist Sanctuary was donated to HMBC by Margaret Reist in memory of her husband, Dr. H. G. Reist, and at 111 acres it is one of the largest forest and open-space resources in the Town of Niskayuna. The Reist has been a favorite haunt of neighborhood residents for over half a century, but its gentle woodland trails remain little explored by birders. In this beginner-friendly outing, we’ll explore the Sanctuary looking for spring migrants.

Meet at 5:30 p.m. at the Kelly Adirondack Center parking lot at 897 St David’s Lane in Niskayuna.
