Join Washington Crossing Audubon Society (www.washingtoncrossingaudubon.org) at 8:30 AM on Saturday, May 26 for a free, public field trip led by Sharyn Magee, Franta Broulick, and Lou Beck at Bull’s Island State Park. We will observe many interesting birds, especially warblers, nesting in the trees along the Delaware River and cliff swallows under the bridge.
Directions: North on Route 29 through Stockton to park entrance on left, 3.5 miles North of the town. Turn left at sign for the park and cross over the bridge to the parking lot straight ahead. There is a shaded picnic grove, so bring a lunch for after our walk. Contact Lou Beck at (609) 737-0070 if additional information is needed.
