Crown Point State Historic Site will host a Guided Bird Hike with Stacy Robinson, Saturday, May 7 at 8:00 am. Participants are asked to meet outside the museum at the benches. A rain date is planned for May 12 if needed.
Enjoy the beautiful 360-acre state property on an approximately 2 mile walk during the spring migration. We'll look for songbirds, waterfowl, and raptors along the shores of Lake Champlain. Much of Crown Point SHS has been designated as a Bird Conservation Area by New York State and boasts over 200 species observed. She will include a stop by the banding station to visit with volunteers and observe the banding process. Your guide, Stacy Robinson, is a veteran birder who has made major contributions to our understanding of bird distribution and abundance in the Champlain Valley, and beyond. She is a leader in utilizing citizen science, namely eBird, to help advance New York State’s third Breeding Bird Atlas initiative. She volunteers for a variety of ornithological initiatives and loves birding at her favorite patch, Crown Point State Historic Site. Trails will be muddy, so please wear waterproof boots or shoes and bring water, insect repellant, and binoculars (spotting scope is optional). Binoculars and field guides are available for loan from the site if needed. A printed checklist of the birds of Crown Point will be provided so please bring a pencil if you would like to keep a list of the birds we find along our walk.
Please call 518-597-3666 or email kris.jarrett@parks.ny.gov to register. Group size is limited to 12.
