SUMMARY:Miami Whitewater Park (Shaker Trace Wetlands) - Nocturnal Vocalizations
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Nocturnal Vocalizations\nLocation: Miami Whitewater Park (Shaker Trace Wetlands)\nDate: Friday Evening\, April 1st\, 2022\nMeet: At 7:00 P.M. in the Baughman Road Parking Lot (see directions below)\nLeader: Brian Keane\, (513) 961-4476\, keaneb@muohio.edu \nJoin us for this unique field trip\, the general theme of which is night sounds\, or more specifically\, nocturnal vocalizations. This trip has proven to be quite popular over the past several years and has become an annual event. If you’re looking for something different you might not want to miss this one.  \nJoin our trip leader Brian Keene for what should be a leisurely evening/night walk around the Miami Whitewater Wetlands known as Shaker Trace. Brian is a Zoology Professor at Miami University and is a past president and current board member of our Audubon Chapter. Brian is a skilled naturalist and an expert in vertebrate zoology. His goal on this night will be to find and identify a variety of wildlife by ear. \nBrian plans to begin the trip with a leisurely walk around the marsh for about an hour before sunset. On our walk around the marsh we should see several species of waterfowl\, Wilson’s Snipe\, Northern Harrier and other hawks and songbirds. At dusk we will listen for the raspy flight calls of snipe and the “peenting” of American Woodcock. Once woodcock are located by sound we will be able to watch their courtship displays\, at least until it gets to dark to see them. We should hear many and see several. Once darkness has completely fallen we will turn our attention to the amphibian chorus which should be quite loud in this wetland habitat. American Toads\, Spring Peepers and Chorus Frogs should dominate the musical\, but Wood Frogs and Leopard Frogs might be heard as well. Other species that might possibly be heard during our walk would be our resident owls. There is no guarantee here\, but Great Horned\, Barred and Eastern Screech are all locally present. Even howling coyotes are possible as they are becoming quite common in our rural areas. We are still a week or two early on this date for rails and bitterns\, but they are known for their nocturnal vocalizations as well. So come out and join Brian for what will most certainly be a fun and interesting trip under a night sky.  \nNote that sunset on April 1st will be 8:03 PM and Civil Twilight ends (becomes totally dark) at 8:29 PM. The trip will consist of level\, moderate walking. However the trails through the wetlands are not paved and can be damp and muddy\, so wear appropriate footwear. Heavy rain at the time will cancel this trip but we have set a rain date for the following evening\, Saturday April 2nd\, same time\, and same place. \nThis trip should end sometime around 09:45 PM. There are no restroom facilities at the Miami Whitewater wetlands\, but they are available in the main park area nearby. It can be very cold on this date\, especially in a marsh at night\, so dress accordingly. Binoculars are not essential on this trip but are highly recommended. A Hamilton County Park Motor Vehicle Permit is required ($5.00 daily\, $10.00 annual) at Miami Whitewater for each vehicle. If you have any questions feel free to contact Brian. \nDirections: We will begin our walk at 7:00 p.m. sharp from the wetlands parking area on Baughman Road\, so try to arrive a bit before 7:00. From I-74\, take the Dry Fork Road exit # 3\, and turn right. Continue past West Rd\, and stay on Dry Fork until it ends. Turn right onto New Haven Road. At the first stop sign\, turn left onto Oxford Road\, and then immediately left again onto Baughman Road. Go about .6 of a mile to the parking area on the right side of the road\, just past the bike trail crossing. \nFor a park map\, directions and other info visit the Miami Whitewater/Great Parks website.\nhttp://greatparks.org/parks/miami-whitewater-forest

SUMMARY:East Fork State Park
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Spring Migration\nLocation: East Fork State Park\nDate: Sunday\, April 24 2022\, 8:00 AM\nMeet: 8:00 A.M. at the South Swimming Beach Parking Lot (see the directions below)\nLeader:  Dave Helm\, (513) 403-4519\, helmmd@icloud.com  \nBy the second half of April spring will be in full swing and this winters weather forgotten. Spring migration in general will be near peak and a diversity of avian species should be found at this season. In addition many woodland plants and wildflowers will be in bloom adding their beauty to the natural scene. Dave Helm\, our trip leader\, is a skilled veteran birder and naturalist and long-time Audubon advocate. Dave has always been a regular visitor to East Fork SP and knows the area well. Dave’s experience will certainly come in handy as birds should be abundant and vocal on this date.  \nApril coincides with the spring migration of a diverse number of families of birds. Ducks\, herons and egrets\, shorebirds\, terns & gulls\, raptors\, migrant & returning summer songbirds (including several warblers) are all expected on this date. Also consider that East Fork SP has a well deserved reputation for attracting rare species. \nDave plans to begin our trip at the south beach which is probably the best spot to find a diversity of water birds. From there\, Dave will lead us to several other spots and habitats around the park.  Dave also has a great interest in botany\, butterflies and all other wildlife and he will gladly share his knowledge on these topics. While we will drive to several spots around the park\, Most of this trip will be on foot\, with short drives from spot to spot\, but walking will be at a moderate and leisurely pace over mostly level trails and roadsides.  \nAs always\, be prepared for wet grass and muddy spots. For your comfort you may want to consider bringing water\, sun screen and insect repellent. It goes without saying that binoculars are necessary for seeing birds well. This field trip will end sometime around noon. Restrooms are available in the park. We encourage you to come out with Dave and see natures great diversity on what should be a beautiful spring morning. Feel free to contact Dave if you have any questions. \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). 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. \nVisit 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
