We will be watching the fascinating phenomenon of migration as each week more and different species arrive on their way to summer nesting grounds either here or further north. This is the 86th year for this event where parks and sanctuaries all over the Cleveland and Akron area will lead walks recording all species seen and heard in order to submit the data to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. This data is shared with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology via their Ebird.org website allowing researchers all over the world to analyze the information for their projects. \nAudubon and Novak Sanctuaries simultaneously.

Along the way\, we will see a diverse set of birds\, including species unique to the southeastern United States as well as wintering populations of warblers we only see during migration in Ohio. We have built an itinerary around seeing many species of birds in a variety of habitats\, but we will also explore the animal and plant diversity as we go\, and we will discuss their conservation status and successes along the way.  \nCost includes transportation in Florida\, accommodations\, some meals\, admission to parks and sanctuaries\, and a great opportunity to learn from Museum experts.

If we are lucky enough to have clear skies\, we will not even need a flashlight. 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 senses. Join us to see 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.
