Saturday, June 15, NORMANSKILL FARM/THE WARBLER BREWERY (Albany County; morning)

Coordinator: Tristan Lowery 646-323-8914 tristanlowery@gmail.com

Normanskill Farm is a city-owned park and farm that arguably offers the best year-round birding to be found within the Albany city limits. And while species variety is at its greatest during spring migration, a number of birds spend the summer nesting here in the woodlands, fields, and gardens that lie alongside the Normanskill Creek. We’ll spend the better part of a midsummer morning in search of the many species that breed at Normanskill Farm, before heading just down the road to Delmar’s Warbler Brewery taproom to enjoy a pint or two by this excellent, avian-themed brewery.

Meet at 7:30 a.m. at the Normanskill Farm parking lot on Mill Rd. From Delaware Avenue heading south, turn left on Mill Road just before the bridge over Normanskill Creek. Parking lot is on the left ¼ mile along Mill Road.
