Birding Outing at the McLane Center (Great Turkey Pond Loop)
November 15 @ 8:00 am - 9:30 am EST
Free
Join NH Audubon for a birding outing along the trails at the McLane Center in Concord, NH. We will meet in the parking lot in front of the main building.
This is an informal birding outing that begins at the McLane parking lot and explores the trails with local birder and NH Audubon volunteer (and former wildlife biologist), Mark Suomala. All ages and skill levels of birders are welcome. If you are new to birding, come and learn the basics! If you are an avid birder, come to learn new techniques, network with other birders, or share your expertise with the group.
McLane provides various types of bird habitats, including forest, grassland, and edge habitats. We can expect to see yearlong residents of New Hampshire, including White-breasted Nuthatches, Eastern Bluebirds, and Wild Turkeys, along with migrating waterfowl with what should be a gorgeous autumnal backdrop.
This is a free event. Binocular rental is provided. Please dress for the weather, with sturdy shoes. Expect to walk between 1-2 miles over mostly flat, but uneven trails through grassy and wooded terrain. Trails may be soggy or muddy in the rainy season. Dogs are not allowed on this walk.
