St. Lawrence Land Trust to celebrate call “International Migratory Bird Day and Global Big Day” May 14

LOUISVILLE -- The St. Lawrence Land Trust is celebrating what they call “International Migratory Bird Day and Global Big Day” with a bird walk at the new DEC Nichols Pool Trail.

The walk will be May 14 from 7 to 10 a.m. and led by Jeff Bolsinger.

Some of the birds that breed at the wildlife management area are bald eagles, common loons, osprey, bobolinks, American bitterns, wood ducks, wild turkeys, mallards, ruffed grouse, and American woodcock.

The trail is little more than 1 mile with three observation areas and overlooks the recently completed Nichols Pool Habitat Improvement Project.

The group will meet at the main entrance. Participants should bring binoculars, water, bug spray and sturdy shoes for muddy conditions.

In the event of heavy rain, the trip will be postponed.

The trailhead is at the north end of Sand Road, which is at the west end of Wilson Hill WMA off of state Route 37. Sand Road is about 2 miles west of the intersection of state Route 37 and county Route 14 and 1.3 miles east of Coles Creek Marina on state Route 37.
