Early Spring Waterfowl Migration
Saturday, February 25, 2012, 8:00 am.
Meet: In the upper Oxbow parking lot at the main entrance to the Oxbow
Leader: Paul Wharton, (513) 353-3403, pwharton@fuse.net
Spring waterfowl migration should be in full swing by this date and those species will be the primary focus of this trip. Bald Eagle numbers are increasing as well and this is also a great time of year to find multiple Bald Eagles in the Oxbow. A diverse number of other seasonal and migrant birds and wildlife will also be seen.
Paul is an expert birder with great bird finding abilities so expectations are high. Paul will move around to several spots in the Oxbow area depending on accessibility and water conditions. Aside from seeing waterfowl and other birds, mud is also guaranteed, so dress appropriately. This morning trip should end before noon. Contact Paul with any questions about the trip.
