Migration at Alum Lake and Hoover Reservoir
Saturday, October 14, 8 a.m.
Leader: Rob Thorn
Migration should still be strong as we survey these two reservoirs north of
Columbus. Join Rob Thorn at Alum Creek, where the small woodlands at the
southern end of the lake are excellent migrant traps and the wide lower
reservoir attracts a wide variety of waterfowl. After taking in the morning
migrants there, we'll move to the upper end of nearby Hoover Reservoir. The
mudflats of the Hoover Nature Preserve should be infested with ducks and
shorebirds, and a trip to Hoover Meadows should round out our lists with
marsh and field birds. We'll meet at the Westerville Community Center
parking lot (on Cleveland Ave just north of Main Street, about 1 mile north
of I-270). Bring sturdy shoes (for lots of wet walking on dewy trails),
snacks, and a windbreaker/jacket if the weather is cold. For more details
contact Rob Thorn, (614) 471-3051 or [log in to unmask]
