Friday April 12 – Sunday April 14, BRADDOCK BAY AND LAKE ONTARIO LAKESHORE (out-of-area; multi-day trip)

Coordinators: Gregg Recer and Cathy Graichen gregg.recer@gmail.com 518-330-4552 (GR)

We’ll explore a number of areas along the southern shore of Lake Ontario over this weekend trip. The entire area is excellent for north-bound waterfowl migration. Spring hawkwatching can also be excellent at Braddock Bay and points east as north-bound raptors encounter the lake barrier and move parallel to the lakeshore. There will still be some opportunities for later wintering hawks and field birds in nearby farm country, and we’ll hope for a chance or two to chase something unusual such as a King Eider or vagrant seabirds. Friday will mainly be a travel day but there may be birding possibilities along the way for those interested. Limit 8 participants. By Club policy, this overnight trip is for members, with non-members accommodated if room is available and with the leader’s approval.

RESERVATIONS REQUIRED. Contact Gregg Recer by March 3rd to reserve a spot and for hotel reservation information.
