SUMMARY:Summer Nature Walk - Botany\, Breeding Birds and Butterflies
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, June 22\, 2025\, 8:00 AM \nMeet: In the upper Oxbow parking lot at the main entrance to the Oxbow \nLeader: Kathy McDonald\, mkathymcdonald@gmail.com \nJoin our trip leader Kathy McDonald for a pleasant early summer morning walk which will emphasize the overall nature of the Oxbow area primarily focusing on plants\, breeding birds and butterflies. Kathy\, a skilled naturalist with an interest in all aspects of nature\, is also a longtime Oxbow Inc. advocate who knows the Oxbow area very well. Kathy was a founder of the Midwest Native Plant Society and is a recent past president and current director of that organization. She has also served on the local Audubon Society and is an Ohio Certified Volunteer Naturalist. \nDuring June birds are abundant and almost all of them are involved in nesting and breeding activities. You may be surprised that over a hundred species of birds regularly breed within the Oxbow area or in close proximity (Shawnee Lookout). On this trip we can expect to see or hear many species of birds including water birds\, raptors (including eagles)\, and a host of songbirds including warblers\, vireos\, orioles\, tanagers\, flycatchers\, grosbeaks and buntings and lots more. June is also the peak singing period and the morning chorus of bird songs will be quite vocal\, giving us a great chance to track them down and get a look. \nBecause of Kathy’s strong background in botany\, plants will also be prioritized\, identified\, and Kathy will point out native and invasive plants. She also has a great interest in butterflies and at this season we should see several species. Kathy’s plan is to take a leisurely walk in the Oxbow\, looking for birds\, butterflies and pointing out interesting plants. Later in the morning Kathy may decide to move to other areas of the Oxbow area depending on the time and reports closer to the date of the trip. \nMost of this trip will be on foot with some short drives from spot to spot. Walking will be easy to moderate and at a naturalists pace. The trip will end around noon. Remember that June can be hot by mid-morning. You may want to wear a hat and bring water\, sun screen and insect repellent. Binoculars are necessary for seeing small birds. There are no restrooms in the Oxbow but they are available nearby. If you have any questions\, feel free to contact Kathy.

SUMMARY:June 22\, 2025 Spring Grove Cemetery Nature Walk With Denis Conover
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Monthly Spring Grove Cemetery Nature Walk \nLocation: Spring Grove Cemetery & Arboretum \nDate: Sunday\, June 22\, 2025 \nMeet: At 10:00 A.M. at Spring Grove Cemetery. Park along the main road\, just beyond the tunnel from the main entrance on Spring Grove Avenue (see directions below). \nLeader: Denis Conover\, (513) 390-0863\, conovedg@hotmail.com \nSpring Grove Cemetery is one of Cincinnati’s most beautiful natural settings and its designation as an arboretum is well deserved. A tremendous diversity and number of native and ornamental plants can be found here. The focus of our monthly field trips here will be general nature walks that will focus on botany and birds and all other aspects of nature we come across.  \nOver the years our trip leader\, Denis Conover\, has become our go to guy when botany is the theme of our field trips and we are fortunate to have him share his knowledge with us. Denis is a professor in the department of Biological Sciences at the University of Cincinnati and has been involved in various types of botanical research since 1981. Denis is also a current board member of our local Audubon Society and also has a great interest in birds and will equally focus on them. \nDenis’s usual plan is to take us on a long but leisurely morning walk through the cemetery observing plants\, birds and other wildlife. Each season offers its own diversity of migrant\, summer and winter resident species of birds and plants in varying stages of their annual cycle. Denis will point out native plants\, ornamental plantings\, invasive species\, shrubs and trees. Birds are usually abundant at Spring Grove and will also be pointed out.  \nOther than a short drive from here or there to move to a different part of the cemetery\, participants should be prepared for a few hours of being on foot and moderate walking. Much of the walking will be relatively flat and on pavement\, but there are a few low hills and there will also be some walking in damp or wet grass or snow in winter. We suggest wearing comfortable waterproof footwear. Binoculars are necessary to see birds well. Restrooms are available at the cemetery office. If you have any questions feel free to contact Denis. \nDirections: The Spring Grove Cemetery & Arboretum main entrance is located at 4521 Spring Grove Avenue just west of the Winton Road intersection. To find our meeting spot\, drive in the Spring Grove Avenue main gates and go straight. You will go through a short tunnel (old RR archway). Just beyond the tunnel\, pull over and park alongside the road and look for Denis. \nSpring Grove Cemetery website: \nhttps://www.springgrove.org/locations/spring-grove-cemetery-arboretum/#hrs \nSpring Grove Cemetery Map: \n(Click on or cut and paste into your browser) \nhttps://assets.takeshape.io/af54a46e-9d1d-4a13-84ea-ea820654ba30/dev/66f7f564-13e7-4da3-9599-d5fc44c9d764/Spring%20Grove%20Cemetery%20and%20Arboretum%20Map.pdf \nThe Meeting Place can be found here: Spring Grove Cemetery
