SUMMARY:Fringed Gentians  Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Join us on our annual saunter to view one of the last wildflowers of the season to bloom. This amazing biennial will dazzle you if we are lucky enough to have a sunny September day. A fantastic shade of violet with the delicate fringed petals will make you glad to have made the 2-mile hike. Please wear waterproof footwear as this bloom likes to keep its feet slightly wet! We will meet at the Bretschneider Park parking lot on the north side of Pioneer Trail just a few hundred yards east of Page Rd. in Aurora. (896 E. Pioneer Tr. Aurora\, OH 44202)

SUMMARY:Waterfowl Wander  Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Many waterfowl are speeding their way north to breeding grounds with the drakes sporting their spectacular\, breeding plumage. Most of them will cause you to gasp in amazement! They are only passing through so now is the time to get out and see them. This is a caravan-style birding tour where we will stop at several favorite lakes and ponds in southern Geauga and northern Portage counties. Make sure to have a full tank of gas because gas stations are not one of our stops. If the group desires\, we will stop for lunch at the end of the tour. Meet at the boat ramp parking lot at the end of Washington Street off of St. Rt. 44 in Auburn Corners.

SUMMARY:Winter Track Walk  Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Our resident wildlife use our trails too! Due to their nocturnal nature or their skittish wariness\, we rarely see them but they do leave evidence behind. You may help me discover “who” walked the trail ahead of us. Let’s hope for a thin coating of new fallen snow for them to register their marks on the path. Meet at the Novak Sanctuary parking lot on the east side of Townline Road about a mile north of State Route 82 on the Aurora/Mantua border. Please wear waterproof footwear.

SUMMARY:Frog Fugue  Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Frog Fugue with Toad accompaniment!  \nNature’s spring symphony is not just made up of bird song. Several species of frogs and toads are likely to entertain us with an eons-old musical composition. They will not let us down rain or shine. If we are lucky\, the beaver may be swimming and the owls may be hooting. There is also a chance the coyotes will howl. If you love this type of natural performance\, join us at the Brettschneider Park parking lot on the north side of Pioneer trail a few hundred yards east of Page Road in Aurora. Mud boots are an absolute must!

SUMMARY:Woodcock Watch  Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:We are very eager to see how the Woodcock utilize the newly restored wet fields at the Novak Sanctuary. Thanks to Matt Valencic and his trail crew along with help from Kenny Kresina and Mark Magree\, the fields have been mostly cleared of an impenetrable copse of invasive buckthorn. We are hoping for a field full of Woodcock showing off for potential mates. Their twilight dance and courtship flight are mesmerizing. Each year the males claim their lek to begin the dance with their unique call and then rocket up into the flight display. Consider joining us for a sunset performance that you will remember forever! Meet at the Novak Sanctuary parking lot on the east side of Townline Road about a mile north of State Route 82 on the Aurora/Mantua border (451 Townline Road). Mud boots are a must!

SUMMARY:Waterfowl Wander  Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:The northward rush to their breeding grounds is on! Ducks\, geese\, grebes\, and loons act as if it is first come first serve to the best nesting sites in the prairie potholes and points farther north. Many pass through our area on their way north. The drakes have molted into their resplendent breeding plumage drawing gasps from even you! This is a caravan style birding tour where we will stop at several favorite lakes and ponds in southern Geauga and northern Portage counties. Make sure to have a full tank of gas because gas stations are not one of our stops. Meet at the boat ramp parking lot at the end of Washington Street off of St. Rt. 44 in Auburn Corners.

SUMMARY:Great Backyard Bird Count  Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Join in on this fun international bird count to help us do our winter bird survey and to contribute to the statistics managed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in collaboration with National Audubon. This is an excellent time for novice birders to begin as the number of species is not overwhelming and there are no leaves to obscure views of the birds and other wildlife. Meet at the Bretschneider Park parking lot on the north side of Pioneer Trail a few hundred yards east of Page Rd. in Aurora. Please wear waterproof footwear.

SUMMARY:Winter Solstice Night Hike  Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Help us celebrate one of the longest nights of the year one night after the winter solstice with a night hike in the Novak Sanctuary. The sights\, sounds\, and aromas of a night hike in the woods give a very different experience than the same trail in the daytime. Let’s see what we discover. Meet at the Novak Sanctuary parking lot on the east side of Townline Road about a mile north of State Rt. 82 on the Aurora/Mantua border. Please wear waterproof footwear.

SUMMARY:Turkey Trek  Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:This walk\, over the years\, has consistently failed to produce a single Wild Turkey! It is likely because they all know Thanksgiving is close at hand. Would you consider helping me find one or a flock of these wily\, elusive birds which were once extirpated from Ohio but are now found in every county. Even if the Wild Turkeys do not show up\, it will still be an enjoyable walk in our less traveled sanctuary where many of you have not had the pleasure to explore. Meet at the Aurora Dog Park parking lot on the east side of Page Road just a few hundred yards north of Mennonite Rd. in Aurora.

Meet at the Novak Sanctuary parking lot on the east side of Townline Rd. almost a mile north of Route 82 in Aurora.

SUMMARY:Twilight Hike  Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Because it is a cooler time of day with the fading light and lengthening shadows that allow more concealment many creatures move about more freely. Often we hear owls\, coyote\, fox\, raccoon\, and deer. Many birds will be singing their call to roost song. Let’s see what we can turn up!

DESCRIPTION:This is a most amazing symphony directed by Mother Nature herself! Hear the banjo plucks of the Green Frogs\, the piccolo pipes of the Spring Peepers\, snores of the Leopard Frogs\, trills of the American Toads with a chorus by the Chorus Frogs all accompanied by the percussion provided by the beaver. If we are lucky the local Barred Owls will call out their critiques of the performance! It is a most amazing night of “music”!
