Great Swamp Walk
Join Bob Kenney for a springtime walk into the Great Swamp Management Area. Because of the very high diversity of habitats, Great Swamp supports of large variety of both resident and migrant birds. It has been an excellent site for finding several rarities over the years. Amphibians and reptiles are also awake after their long winter naps and will be active. We’ll be going in late afternoon because the management area is open for turkey hunting until 1:00 PM. Rain date is Monday, May 1.
