Our annual spring bird walks at Hills Creek State Park will resume this year on Saturday, April 2 and will continue every Saturday through April and May at 8:00 AM. Meet at the park office. Walks are free, and birders of all levels and ages are welcome. Be sure to wear sturdy shoes and dress warmly -- the weather can be very blustery, especially in April. April walks usually feature waterfowl out on the lake and raptors such as bald eagles and ospreys flying over head. Later in May more land birds will start to arrive, and we will see a colorful assortment of warblers, vireos, orioles, etc. Good binoculars are available for loan if you don't have any.

Presentations to Resume on September 25th
The Tiadaghton Audubon Society will resume its presentations on environmental topics and outdoor activities with a program on Saturday, September 25th, at 3:30 at the amphitheater by the nature/visitors center at Hills Creek State park. The program will be on creating a back yard bird-and-pollinator-friendly garden focused on native plantings. Although the program will take place outdoors, DCNR urges park visitors "to do their part to make the experience healthy and enjoyable for themselves and others by following COVID-19 mitigation guidelines, including practicing social distancing, avoiding crowds, and wearing a mask when they encounter other people."

122nd Christmas Bird Count
The good news is there will be a Christmas Bird Count this season in Tioga County. The Cowanesque circle count will take place on December 19, and the Mansfield-Wellsboro count will take place on January 1, as in the past. The bad news is that because of the covid-19 situation, there will be no annual luncheon for the counters. We will contact last year's participants to work out assignments. Because of covid social-distancing rules, some of last year's teams may have to be broken up, so it may take some time to get everything coordinated. As you know, these are difficult times, and we do appreciate everyone's concern and cooperation.
