Field Trip: Winter on Pinckney

(Member registration opens 12/7; Nonmember on 12/14)

We all know that Pinckney Island is a “happening place” for birds in spring, but it is surprising how many bird species winter there. Join Lucia Rosenblatt to find them on this trip. . We will bird the parking lot for woodpeckers, then proceed to Ibis Pond and vicinity for gallinules, coots, visiting ducks, etc. We will then proceed to Starr Pond, which has fewer birds, but surprises us sometimes. 

Dress for the weather and wear shoes/boots for a walk of about 3 miles. There are no facilities at Pinckney. Definitely bring water and binoculars, and perhaps a snack. There are picnic tables at Ibis Pond, if you want to stop for lunch on your way back to the parking lot.
