During the peak of fall migration, join young birder and naturalist Arabella P. for a morning of birding adventures at the scenic Glynwood Farm in Putnam County. Situated within Fahnestock Park, this 250-acre working farm, with its picturesque rolling hills, woods, meadows and lakes, is an idyllic stopover for hungry migrants. This birding hotspot hosts a variety of flora and fauna, from beeches and oaks, a favorite of birds, to late blooming fall asters, goldenrods, and various native grasses that serve as important food sources for Eastern Tailed Blue butterflies and migrating Monarchs. On this walk, as we travel through diverse habitat, we can expect to encounter everything from Savannah, and Field Sparrows, Orange-crowned and Palm Warblers, and Bobolinks along with American Kestrels, Purple Finches, American Pipits, and Common Yellowthroats. And if we’re fortunate, we may even be treated to Clay-colored Sparrows, Dickcissels, Pine Siskins, or Eastern Meadowlarks. After birding the fields and woods, we will explore the muddy banks of the lake to search for possible shorebirds, including Spotted Sandpipers, Solitary Sandpipers, and Least Sandpipers. Plan on meeting in the new parking area at the Big Woods Trailhead where we’ll commence our birding adventure. You can find it at https://maps.app.goo.gl/cvMbYN9ezZTZaCzDA
