SUMMARY:Forest Walk & Migrant Songbirds
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Forest Walk & Migrant Songbirds \nLocation: Caldwell Nature Preserve \nDate: Saturday\, September 12\, 2026 \nMeet: At 9:00 A.M. at the Caldwell Preserve Visitor Center. See directions below. \nLeader: Denis Conover\, (513) 390-0863\, conovedg@hotmail.com \nCaldwell Nature Preserve is a City of Cincinnati property that protects 123 acres of beautiful forested woodland\, some of which is considered old growth. There are about 3.5 miles of hiking trails throughout the preserve. \nOur trip leader is Denis Conover\, who over the years has become our go to guy when botany is the theme of our field trips.  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. He is 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 plan is to take us on a long but leisurely morning walk through the preserve observing plants\, birds and other wildlife. The date of this trip will coincide with the peak of fall songbird migration (including many species of warblers) so birds should be abundant. Denis will also point out native plants\, ornamental plantings\, invasive species\, shrubs and trees. \nParticipants should be prepared for a few hours of being on foot with moderate to somewhat hilly walking. There may also be some walking in damp or wet grass. We suggest wearing comfortable waterproof footwear. Binoculars are necessary to see birds well. Restrooms are available at the Visitor Center. If you have any questions\, feel free to contact Denis. \n Directions: \nThe parking lot and Visitor Center are located right at the Park Entrance at 430 W North Bend Road. Meet at 9:00 A.M. in the Parking Lot \nCaldwell Nature Preserve Directions: \n430 W.

SUMMARY:Fall Migration: Warblers & Shorebirds
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Fall Migration: Warblers & Shorebirds \nLocation: Shawnee Lookout\, Lost Bridge & the Oxbow  \nDate and Time: Saturday\, September 19\, 2026\, 8:00 A.M. \nMeet: At the Shawnee Lookout boat ramp upper parking lot. The upper parking lot is located directly across from the Shawnee Lookout Park entrance. (See directions below) \nLeader:  Dave Helm\, (513) 403-4519\, helmmd@icloud.com \nCome out and join us for what should be a great day of birding. The focus of the trip will be fall migrants. The migration patterns of many types of birds overlap around this date. Neo-tropical song birds (including many warblers) should be found and water birds of several families should also be seen. The Great Miami River and Oxbow area attract shorebirds\, long-legged waders\, terns\, gulls\, grebes and ducks and all can be expected around this date. Hawks\, Osprey & Bald Eagles are also likely to be seen and Broad-winged Hawk and Sharp-shinned Hawk migration is near peak. A rare species is always possible. \nOur trip leader\, Dave Helm\, is an expert\, skilled veteran birder and naturalist and long-time ASO advocate and current board member. Dave has always been a regular visitor to Shawnee Lookout and the Oxbow and knows the area extremely well. Dave’s experience will certainly come in handy as birds should be abundant on this date. \nSince our primary focus of this field trip is the fall migration of warblers and other songbirds\, Dave will spend much of the morning at Shawnee Lookout. At some point we will move to the Oxbow to look for migrating shorebirds and other water birds there. The plan is to bird until around noon. There will be quite a bit of walking on this trip\, but most of it will be generally easy and at a comfortable birding pace. Binoculars are necessary if you expect to see birds. Restrooms are available at Shawnee Lookout. A Hamilton County Park Motor Vehicle Permit is required at all Hamilton County Parks. Daily Motor Vehicle Permits can be purchased for $5 for Hamilton County residents and $8 for non-residents at park entrance booths ($10 & $16 annual). Please feel free to contact Dave if you have any questions. \nDirections to Shawnee Lookout Park: We will meet at the Shawnee Lookout boat ramp upper parking lot at 8:00 a.m. The upper parking lot is located directly across from the Shawnee Lookout Park entrance. Shawnee Lookout is located at 2008 Lawrenceburg Rd. North Bend\, Ohio. Take I-275 to the Kilby Road Exit # 21. Turn south on Kilby Road and go about 1 mile to the stop light at U.S. 50. Turn right onto US 50 and go about 2 miles to the stop light at Lawrenceburg Road and turn left. Follow Lawrenceburg Road to the stop sign at the end of the Great Miami Bridge (Lost Bridge)\, turn right and go about 1.5 miles to the park entrance which is on the left. The upper boat ramp parking lot where we will meet is on the right\, directly across from the Park entrance. \n(Contributed by Jay Stenger)

SUMMARY:Monthly Spring Grove Cemetery Nature Walk
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Monthly Spring Grove Cemetery Nature Walk \nLocation: Spring Grove Cemetery & Arboretum \nDate: Sunday September 20\, 2026 \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. He 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. He also has a great interest in birds and will equally focus on them. He is a current board member of our local Audubon Society. \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. He will point out native plants\, ornamental plantings\, invasive species\, shrubs and trees\, as well as birds which are usually abundant at Spring Grove. \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. 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 \n (Contributed by Jay Stenger)
