NEW BERLIN–The Chenango Bird Club continues its summer evening birdwatching series with a leisurely stroll at The Wetlands Trust property along the Unadilla River on Wednesday, June 14. The club will meet in the Unadilla Valley School parking lot, three miles south of New Berlin Village on NYS Rte 8, at 6 p.m.

During this time in the year, birds are busy with courting, nesting, feeding babies and defending territory. They vocalize frequently, making them easier to spot. The Wetlands Trust owns about 50 acres along the river that was formerly a golf course and has diverse habitats. The property is not open to the public, but the Chenango Bird Club has permission to conduct an educational program and report our sightings.

Former Rogers Program Director and Chenango Bird Club member, Fred von Mechow, will lead the walk. A 23 time participant in the New Jersey Audubon Society World Series of Birding, Fred will point out birds’ visual field marks and songs. Join us even if you don’t have binoculars; we have a few extra to share.
