SUMMARY:Woodcock Watch  Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:If you have not had the chance to witness the amazing breeding display\, then you are missing a fascinating romance of our local wildlife! At this time of year male woodcocks woo the females with a basic “soft shoe” and a simple nasal call and then take off in a wonderful flight display that must be seen to believe! Each year there are several males proclaiming to be the “best in their field”! Join us for a sunset performance that you will talk about for weeks! 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.

SUMMARY:Waterfowl at Grand Valley Ranch  Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Some say the American Robin is the harbinger of spring\, but the swans\, ducks\, geese\, and shorebirds might disagree. The Land Conservancy has partnered with the Audubon Society of Greater Cleveland to host a morning of birding just as waterfowl are making their strongest push north through Ohio and shorebirds are beginning to pass our way. If conditions are right\, we could see up to 29 species of waterfowl\, including three swans. \nThe Land Conservancy’s Grand Valley Ranch protects 1\,200 acres of ideal habitat for waterfowl and various waterbirds. Permanently conserved in 2015\, the Land Conservancy has restored the site from historical high impact uses (agriculture\, mining\, aquaculture\, etc) to a natural\, 3-mile long\, flow-through wetland complex. Utilizing funds from Clean Ohio\, USFWS\, and the Ohio EPA\, $3.5M was invested in the property to restore this ancient Tamarack Swamp! \nAdvanced registration is required. \nEvent details:\nFriday\, March 31 at 8:30 am to 11:30 am (Rain Date: April 14)\nLeaders: Members of the Audubon Society of Greater Cleveland and Renee Boronka\, Manager of Education at the Land Conservancy\nFee: Free\nLimit: 25 people\nLocation: Directions will be sent to registrants. Grand Valley Ranch is in Orwell\, OH. \nRegister HERE

SUMMARY:Waterfowl Wander  Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Join us to view the astounding plumage of the drakes as they head north to their breeding grounds. It is amazing to me at the number of species with the possibilities of grebes\, loons\, and both diving and dabbling ducks. 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 international bird count that occurs this weekend throughout the world. We will count every bird we see and hear on this 2-mile walk following a path that has been surveyed this particular weekend of the year for many years. You will be contributing to our knowledge of what species use our sanctuary in the winter and this information will be submitted to e-Bird which will then be shared with interested parties throughout the world. Dress for the weather including proper footwear for snow or mud. Meet at the Brettschneider Parking lot on the north side of Pioneer Trail a few hundred yards east of Page Road in Aurora.

SUMMARY:Winter Track Walk  Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Last fall a bobcat was seen in the area! I wonder if it uses our Novak Sanctuary for food or shelter. Winter is a great time to discover what other creatures use our trails as we search for tracks and other signs of their presence. This is a 2 mile walk so dress for the weather with proper footwear. We will hope for a fresh light snowfall to show the details of the tracks registering in the snow. Meet at the Novak Sanctuary parking lot on the east side of Townline Road almost a mile north of State Route 82 on the Mantua/Aurora border.

SUMMARY:Winter Solstice  Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Help us celebrate the longest night of the year a few days early so as not to conflict with holiday celebrations. If we are lucky enough to have clear skies\, the stars will light our way. A night hike this time of year reveals secrets of the forest and field because the leaves are down increasing our viewing while the crisp air allows sounds to travel farther. Hiking after dark seems to heighten the acuity of our non-visual senses. Join us to discover what the night-time forest unveils. Meet at Novak Sanctuary parking lot on the east side of Townline Rd a little less than a mile north of St. Rt. 82 on the Aurora/Mantua border.

SUMMARY:Turkey Trek  Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Will we be successful in our quest to spot Wild Turkeys before Thanksgiving? They know how to play the game of Hide and Seek extremely well. These large but wily birds are experts in blending in. Help me find the flock as they roam the sanctuary on the less traveled Mantua side of the sanctuary.

DESCRIPTION:The gorgeous fringed gentian is among the most stunning of our native wildflowers. They are also among the last to bloom for the season.

Join us to see these and other autumn wildflowers in full bloom. Meet at the Bretschnieder Park parking lot on the north side of Pioneer Trail a few hundred yards east of Page Road in Aurora.

SUMMARY:Woodcock Watch  Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Just as dusk turns to night the male Woodcocks put on their “dancin’ shoes” to woo the females with impressive flight displays. The wet fields at the Novak sanctuary are ideal breeding grounds for these upland shore birds. They begin with a ground dance and then rocket up into the night sky to circle and fly for a few moments before twittering and zipping back to earth. If the hen is sufficiently impressed\, she will fly in to express her amazement. You will be amazed at the show these feather fluffs can put on! Meet at the Novak Sanctuary parking lot on the east side of Townline Rd. about a mile north of St. Rt. 82 on the Aurora/Mantua border. Please wear mud proof boots as the trails will be muddy on this 2-mile\, 2-hour walk.

SUMMARY:Winter Track Walk  Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Winter Track Walk – Aurora Sanctuary \nLet’s see who else uses our trails when we are not there. A number of mammals and some birds leave distinctive tracks and “calling cards.” Sometimes there is a real-life story to tell from the imprints left in the snow. This is a 2 mile walk so dress for the weather with proper footwear. We will hope for a fresh light snowfall to show the details of the tracks registering in the snow. Meet at the Brettschneider Park/Audubon parking lot on the north side of Pioneer Trail a few hundred yards east of Page Road in Aurora.

SUMMARY:Winter Solstice Hike  Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Come and celebrate the closest Friday night to the Winter Solstice without interfering with Christmas Eve activities. These are among the longest nights of the year and we can enjoy the peace and quiet of the winter woods one night short of the full moon. Owls may call\, coyotes may howl\, beaver may announce us but these natural sounds are good for the soul. Meet at the parking lot about 1 mile north of State Route 82 on the east side of Townline Road on the Aurora/Mantua Border.

SUMMARY:Turkey Trek  Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Maybe this year we will be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of our local wild turkey flock. As all wild turkey hunters know\, they are an exceedingly alert and elusive species even though they are quite common. In addition\, they may know how close Thanksgiving is! I can guarantee a visit to our new and amazing observation deck overlooking the Beaver Pond built by Audubon volunteers. Meet at the parking lot about one mile north of State Route 82 on the east side of Townline Road on the Aurora/Mantua border.

SUMMARY:Fringed Gentian Hike  Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Join us to see this exquisite native wildflower. These rare flowers are losing ground due to housing developments\, loss of wet soils\, excess mowing and the use of herbicides. Fringed Gentians are biennials which flower in the second year. The amazing and delicate blue blossoms are something to behold. In addition to the Fringed Gentian\, we also will see Closed or Bottle Gentian in bloom. Stop and absorb some of the last flowers to bloom for the season. Meet at the Brettschneider Park/Audubon Parking lot on the north side of Pioneer Trail a few hundred yards east of Page Road in Aurora.

SUMMARY:Waterfowl Wander  Canceled
DESCRIPTION:This field trip has been canceled. \nJoin us for a “caravan style” field trip to witness the awesome breeding plumage of the wonderful waterfowl that move through our area on their way to northern breeding grounds. The drakes are in their showiest\, fancy plumage to impress the females and at the same time astound us! Early spring brings more than 20 species of waterfowl to rest and refuel during their migration. Join us with a full tank of gas and some lunch money as we gather at a restaurant to share our checklists and stories of the morning’s birding. Meet at the Ladue Reservoir boat ramp at the end of Washington Street in Auburn Township (Geauga County).

SUMMARY:Great Backyard Bird Count  Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Help us complete our winter bird survey while participating in the international Great Backyard Bird Count sponsored by National Audubon and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. This walk is especially satisfying because we can see almost all the birds we hear as opposed to the summer season where they can be obscured in the canopy. It is also a great time for those just getting started in birding to learn about our winter resident species and techniques of finding our quarry all while contributing important citizen science information to ornithologists anywhere in the world.

SUMMARY:Winter Track Walk  Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Winter is an excellent time to discover what wildlife resides in our woods which remain invisible behind the summer leaves of green. It is also a great way to see the lay of the land discovering ravines\, ponds\, and vernal pools that were hidden by summer vegetation. Join us to read tracks in the snow or catch a glimpse of a cottontail bounding away.

SUMMARY:Winter Solstice  Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a night hike celebrating the winter solstice (1 day early) marking the longest night of the year. Have you heard the wondrous silence of the winter woods after dark? It is an amazing aura! The quiet is occasionally interrupted by wind in the branches of the pines\, the call of an owl\, the howl of a coyote\, or the scrabbling sound of a flying squirrel darting up a tree trunk. Meet at Brettschneider Park parking lot on the north side of Pioneer Trail a few hundred yards east of Page Road in Aurora.

SUMMARY:Leaf Crunching  Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:The leaves of brown are on the ground! If we have a dry day we can crunch and kick through the many leaves blanketing the trail and forest floor! I love a November walk because without the leaves on the trees we are better able to see the wildlife and the lay of the land. Often on these walks we remark\, “I didn’t know that was there!” referring to a tree or boulder or wetland that had been obscured by summer leaf cover. Help us see what is new or newly discovered in this sanctuary with its varied habitats. Meet at the Aurora Dog Park parking lot on the east side of Page Road few hundred yards north of Mennonite Road in Aurora.

SUMMARY:Fall Leaf Colors  Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Mid-October in Northeastern Ohio is a spectacular time to soak up the beauty of nature. John Lillich’s stories and style will keep you entertained with the natural and human history in this gem of a wildlife preserve. John hiked and worked these ridges and ravines ever since he was a child and intimately knows the moods and denizens of this woods. Join us and the Burrough’s Nature Club for a walk at peak color change (if mother nature agrees with our timing). John will also be making an indoor presentation on the Hach-Otis Preserve Friday night October 18th at 7:00 P.M.to the Burrough’s Nature Club at the Willoughby United Methodist Church in downtown Willoughby. All are welcome members or not. For the field trip on Saturday\, meet at the Hach-Otis parking lot at the end of Skyline Drive heading east off of River Road in Willoughby Hills.

DESCRIPTION:The unusual Fringed Gentian are among the last native wildflowers to bloom and give a boost to our spirits as we prepare for the cloud-cover and shortening days of what’s to come. If you have not enjoyed the intricate detail of the flower or soaked in the amazing blue of an open Fringed Gentian\, then join us to see these and other autumn wildflowers in full bloom. If we have a sunny afternoon\, you are sure to be dazzled! Meet at the Brettschneider Park parking lot on the north side of Pioneer Trail a few hundred yards east of Page Road in Aurora.
