This is a good walk for beginning birders; we will haveextra binoculars. The 2–hour walk is mostly level easy walking onforest paths and rock path over the dam. Beware of the occasionaltree root. If it’s a wet spring\, boots are a good idea; though most ofpaths should be dry. Bug spray good idea. A scope is helpful forscouting the pond\, as is Merlin for birding by song.Donna Summers djsummers2@comcast.net 860–966–1642 TSarah Faulkner sffaulkner@comcast.net 860–543–1280 T
