Sunday, May 26, BEGINNING BIRDER WORKSHOP -- SARATOGA NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK AND BATTLEFIELD (Saratoga County; morning)

Coordinators: Gregg Recer and Cathy Graichen  gregg.recer@gmail.com

518-330-4552 (GR)

Saratoga Battlefield is a great location to learn many of the common grassland and open-country breeding species of the region such as Bobolink, Eastern Meadowlark, Savannah and Field Sparrows, American Kestrel, Eastern Towhee, and several wood-warbler species. We will cover some of the park trails on foot, as well as bird from the one-way tour road, and can expect to spend the entire morning. This trip will be geared toward novice birders, but all are welcome.

Meet at 8:00 a.m. in the parking lot near the park’s visitor center off SR 32.
