SONNY BOON MEMORIAL TRAIL

May 14, 2023 @ 8:00 AM 10:00 AM

Dan Casey will be leading three Sunday morning bird walks along the Sonny Boon Memorial Trail in Somers during this spring
migration season. The paved trail follows a portion of the old railroad bed along Somers Slough and offers excellent
views of waterfowl as well as a wide variety of land-birds reliant on the diverse riparian habitat. Indeed, 157 species
have been reported at this eBird hotspot (https://ebird.org/hotspot/L1390990). These round-trip walks will be one mile
each way, and will last approximately two hours, starting at 8 a.m. Attendance is limited to 10 people. Please text Dan
at 406-270-5941 to reserve spots on the attendance list. Walks will be held on the following dates:

April 30: Waterfowl, early migrants (e.g. swallows, Nashville Warbler, Spotted Towhee)
May 14: Increasing numbers of new arrivals (e.g. Western Tanager, Yellow Warbler)
May 21: Most breeding species back on territories (e.g. Gray Catbird, Black-headed Grosbeak)
