April is the month we start hunting for those beautiful spring migrating songbirds. We have discovered that the big specimen live oak at Jarvis Park, on Hilton Head, is often popular with warblers. Field Trip Chair Lynn Hodgson will be at Jarvis Park on Hilton Head, at 8 a.m. on three Monday mornings in April. Join her for any or all these informal, mostly stationary “hunts.” We will probably stay about an hour. No registration or charge; just show up and stay as long as you like. (Note: Lynn is a Master Birder, but NOT a Master “Warblerer,” so we will be learning together.)

Directions: Jarvis Community Park – 50 Jarvis Park Rd., just off Rte. 278 on the north end of Hilton Head Island, 1 block north of the intersection of 278 and the Cross-Island Expressway.
