Free, public birding trip with Washington Crossing Audubon: Bird Banding at Featherbed Lane
Washington Crossing Audubon Society invites you to join us for a special trip at 8 AM on Sunday, Sept. 22, for a free, public birding trip to the Featherbed Lane Bird Banding Station. Led by Mark Witmer and Hannah Suthers, this unique field trip will expose you to the ongoing research on migration and habitat progression conducted by Hannah and her volunteers for over 30 years (hopewell-birds.freehostia.com). You will see the process of bird banding and learn what information is obtained. We are likely to see a variety of species up close, including warblers, thrushes, wrens, and Hannah's favorite, the catbird. Time permitting, we may also explore the wooded habitat along Featherbed Lane.
Registration is required, and is limited to 12 persons. Call Brad Merritt at (609) 921-8964 to register.
Directions: Registered participants should meet at Featherbed Lane, just North of Hopewell. From Rte. 518 in Hopewell, turn North on Greenwood Ave. and drive approximately 1.5 miles. Turn right onto Featherbed Lane and go about 0.5 miles. Park along the right side of the lane.See our website at http://www.washingtoncrossingaudubon.org/
