SUMMARY:2026 Clermont County Butterfly Count by the NABA Date Change Due To Weather  Sunday\, July 19
DESCRIPTION:2026 Clermont County Butterfly Count by the North American Butterfly Association (NABA) \nDue to predicted thunderstorms tomorrow the count has been moved to  \nJuly 19\, 2026 Sunday 9:00am-4pm \n  \nHere is a wonderful opportunity to contribute to citizen science by joining the Clermont County Butterfly Count of 2026. Butterfly identification expertise is not required (although greatly appreciated). We need eyeballs in the field!  There will be team leaders to help you with identification. \n  \nWe will meet at the Corps of Engineers Visitor Center at East Fork State Park/Wildlife Area at 9am. to divide into teams to search for all butterflies within a 15 mile diameter circle. This area includes all of East Fork State Park/Wildlife Area\, the Cincinnati Nature Center Rowe Woods\, in addition to Shor\, Sycamore and Pattison Parks. \n  \nFor those of you new to this event\, the count is sponsored by NABA\, an organization that promotes conservation and enjoyment of butterflies. Butterfly counts similar to Christmas Bird Counts are held throughout the United States\, Canada and Mexico. A $3.00 fee is collected by NABA to defray costs associated with the count program \n  \nPlease email Tammie Stanley at mockingbirdhillflowers@gmail.com for more information about registration and the tally after the event. \n

SUMMARY:Monthly Spring Grove Cemetery Nature Walk
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Monthly Spring Grove Cemetery Nature Walk \nLocation: Spring Grove Cemetery & Arboretum \nDate: Sunday\, July 19th\, 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 \n  \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. Our monthly field trips will be general nature walks that will focus on botany and birds and all other aspects of nature we come across. \n  \nDenis Conover will be our leader for all the monthly Spring Grove Cemetery field trips. He 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 and time 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 is also a current board member of our local Audubon Society. He also has a great interest in birds and will focus on them as well. \n  \nDenis’s usual plan is to take us on a long\, but leisurely late 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. Birds are usually abundant at Spring Grove and will also be pointed out. \n  \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 bringing water\, dressing for the seasonal weather and 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. \n  \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. \n  \nSpring Grove Cemetery website: \nhttps://www.springgrove.org/locations/spring-grove-cemetery-arboretum/#hrs \n  \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)

SUMMARY:Prairie & Wetland Plants in Bloom
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Prairie & Wetland Plants in Bloom \nLocation: Miami Whitewater Forest\, Shaker Trace \nDate: Saturday\, July 25\, 2026 \nMeet: At 9:00 A.M. in the Baughman Road Parking Lot. See directions below. \nTrip Leader: Tom Borgman\, (513) 473-7696\, treeborg2@gmail.com \n  \nThe focus of this trip will be on the prairie & wetland plant communities at the Shaker Trace. Many of the prairie wildflowers will be in bloom\, blanketing the grassland in spectacular color. In 1992\, the then Great Parks of Hamilton County began a native prairie and wetland restoration project of several hundred acres at Miami Whitewater Forest.  The project has been a great success and today over 500 acres of a native grassland and wetland community is preserved. Often referred to as the Miami Whitewater wetlands\, the entire complex is officially named Shaker Trace and represents the largest wetland/grassland complex in Hamilton County. Late summer is a great time to see these prairie plants in bloom in a stunning array of colors. \n  \nIdentifying all of these plants can be a challenge. But our trip leader\, Tom Borgman\, is more than qualified in that regard. Tom is retired from the Great Parks of Hamilton County where he worked for many years as a naturalist. Many of those years were spent working on the Shaker Trace project. Tom is a skilled botanist and overall great naturalist and is a past board member of our Audubon Society Chapter. Tom’s wife\, Penny Borgman\, also retired from years of service with Great Parks and is a current ASO board member. \n  \nTom plans to take a leisurely morning walk exploring the Shaker Trace complex with lots of stops to look at and identify plants\, especially the prairie blooms. This is also a great time of year for butterflies. Breeding birds will still be around as well. Sedge Wrens are a distinct possibility. The south bound fall migration of wading birds and shorebirds will also have begun by this date and Tom will point out all of these and any other wildlife we encounter. \n  \nThis trip will end around noon. This walk will cover about 2 miles\, but the walking will be slow and level and some of it along the bike-hike trail. However\, as we walk along the marsh\, we may encounter high grass or damp spots\, so wear appropriate footwear. We can expect late July to be hot\, so to make your trip more comfortable\, we suggest bringing water\, sun screen\, insect repellant and wearing a hat. Bring your binoculars if you have them. \n  \nAlso bring any questions you have about natural areas management and come prepared to enjoy a morning with friends among the grasses and flowering plants of these extensive prairie and wetland habitats. Restrooms are available in other areas of the park\, but there are none at Shaker Trace. A Great Parks Motor Vehicle Permit is required ($5 daily\, $10 annual resident and $8 daily and $16 annual non-resident). Feel free to contact Tom if you have any questions. \n  \nDirections: Take I-74 west to the Dry Fork Road exit # 3. Turn right onto Dry Fork Road (north) and go 2.2 miles to New Haven Road. Bear right (east) onto New Haven Road and go .8 mile to Oxford Road. Turn left onto Oxford Road and then immediately left again onto Baughman Road. Go .7 mile and look for the parking lot on the right side (north) of the road just after passing the Bike/Hike Trail crosswalk. \n  \nFor a Park map and other information visit the Miami Whitewater Forest website at: \nhttps://www.greatparks.org/parks/miami-whitewater-forest \n(Contributed by Jay Stenger)

SUMMARY:Butterflies & Early Fall Bird Migration
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Butterflies & Early Fall Bird Migration \nLocation: East Fork State Park\, Clermont County OH \nDate: Saturday\, September 5\, 2026 \nMeet: 8:00 A.M. at the South Swimming Beach Parking Lot (see the directions below) \nCo-Leader: Kathy McDonald\, 513-748-0281\, mkathymcdonald@gmail.com \nCo-Leader: Tammy Stanley\, 513-395-9393\, mockingbirdhillflowers@gmail.com \nCo-Leader: Bill Stanley\, (513) 324-2796\, tyrannus58@gmail.com \nCo-Leader: Ned Keller\, 513-349-3369\, nedkeller49@gmail.com \nButterflies and migrant birds are both the focus of this trip. Kathy and Tammie originally planned a butterfly trip for this date\, but since this date is near the peak of songbird (including warblers) migration\, we decided to include them as part of our focus as well. So Tammie’s and Kathy’s husbands (Bill and Ned) were recruited to help. All of our leaders are skilled and experienced naturalists and birders\, and with their help\, we can expect to see a great diversity on this trip. \nThe general plan is to begin at the south beach\, where we will meet. We should see a diversity of waterbirds here. Harsha Lake and its shorelines attract shorebirds\, long-legged waders\, terns\, gulls\, grebes and ducks all of which 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 just beginning around now. \nWe will then drive to other spots around East Fork State Park looking for migrant songbirds and butterflies. Other than a few short drives to get from one spot to another\, we will mostly be on foot. Walking however will be at a leisurely pace over level trails & roadsides. \nWe will probably stay at it until birding begins to tail off around noon. So come out and see a diversity of birds and butterflies on what should be a beautiful early fall morning. Restrooms are available in the park. If you have any questions\, feel free to contact any of the leaders. \nDirections: We will meet at the swimming beach parking lot located on the south side of East Fork State Park. We will meet at 8 AM on the far left side of the beach parking lot (when facing the lake); although at that time of day it shouldn’t be a problem finding our group. To get to the beach\, enter the park from the south side and follow the park signs to the beach. To get to the south side entrance to East Fork SP from I-275\, take exit # 65\, SR 125 (Beechmont Ave./Ohio Pike) and go east about 9 miles to the junction of Rt. 222. Turn left onto Bantam Rd. (opposite Rt. 222) and follow the signs to the park entrance. \n Visit the East Fork State Park website for a Park map and other info at: \nhttps://ohiodnr.gov/go-and-do/plan-a-visit/find-a-property/east-fork-state-park \n(Contributed by Jay Stenger)

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)
