SUMMARY:Late Summer Botanical Walk
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Late Summer Botanical Walk\nLocation: Spring Grove Cemetery\nDate: Sunday\, August 7\, 2022\nMeet: 10:00 A.M. at Spring Grove Cemetery\, along the road just beyond the tunnel from the main entrance on Spring Grove Avenue\nLeader: Denis Conover\, (513) 390-0863\, conovedg@hotmail.com \nThe focus of this field trip will be the diverse botanical community found at Spring Grove Cemetery. Come out and join UC professor\, and skilled botanist and naturalist Denis Conover as he leads us on a mid-morning late summer walk through the beautiful grounds of Spring Grove Cemetery. This is a beautiful time of the year and vegetation will be at peak on this date. Denis will identify the tremendous diversity of trees\, shrubs and other plants that can be found here and expound on their ecology. Denis will point out our native flora\, invasive species\, ornamental plantings and late summer plants that bloom at this season\, as well as show us some of the many national and state champion trees found here. One white oak that he will show us is thought to be nearly 400 years old. Denis also loves birds and will be sure to spend time observing them and any other wildlife we come across. So why not come along and join Denis on what should be a pleasant morning walk and gain some tips and insight on plant identification and their natural history.  \nDenis has been involved in various types of botanical research since 1981 and is a professor in the department of Biological Sciences at the University of Cincinnati. He is also a current board member of our Audubon Society. Participants should be prepared for a few hours of walking\, most of which will be relatively flat and on pavement\, but there will also be some walking off pavement on trails or in damp or wet grass. We suggest wearing good comfortable footwear. Binoculars are not necessary to see plants but are recommended if you have them or are interested in birds. August can be hot so we recommend wearing a hat and bringing water\, sunscreen and insect repellent. Restrooms are available at the cemetery office.  \nThe Spring Grove Cemetery main entrance is located on Spring Grove Avenue just west of the Winton Road intersection. To find our meeting spot\, drive in through the main entrance gates and go straight. You will go through a short tunnel. Just beyond the tunnel\, pull over and park alongside the right side of the road. If you have any questions feel free to contact Denis.

SUMMARY:Early Fall Migrant Shorebirds & Waders - Oxbow\, Inc. Trip
DESCRIPTION:Early Fall Migrant Shorebirds & Waders \nFriday Evening\, August 19\, 2022\, *6:00 PM \nMeet in the upper Oxbow parking lot at the main entrance to the Oxbow. \nCo-Leader: Jack Stenger\, (513) 503-3389\, jackstenger@gmail.com \nCo-Leader: Jay Stenger\, (513) 522-8147\, jaystenger1@gmail.com \n  \n*Note that this is an evening field trip. \n  \nSeveral years ago\, in an attempt to beat the heat of the August “dog days”\, we began scheduling our August field trips in the evening. For several reasons this trip has become quite popular. The focus of this trip will be birds\, specifically early fall migrants through the Oxbow. That’s right\, I did say fall. While the calendar and temperature tells us it is still late summer\, the southbound fall migration of shorebirds (sandpipers & plovers)\, long-legged waders (herons & egrets) and several other species begins quite early and will be well under way by this date. So come out and join our trip leaders\, son and father team Jack Stenger and Jay Stenger\, for what should be a pleasant summer evening in the Oxbow area. Jack and Jay are long-time advocates of Oxbow Inc. and both are current board members. I should also mention that these two guys are skilled and expert birders who know the Oxbow area inside and out. \n  \nShorebirds (sandpipers and plovers) need exposed mudflats and shorelines where they forage for their invertebrate food. During most years the Oxbow area provides good to great habitat for them. The nearby Great Miami River usually has exposed sand bars at this season as well. In addition to several species of shorebirds\, we expect that we will find numerous Great Egrets and other herons including Great Blue\, Green and Black-crowned Night-Herons. This is also a great time of year to find an unusual or rare species such as Little Blue Heron and Snowy Egret (but not guaranteed). Purple Martins and other migrating swallows “stage” in large numbers in the Oxbow during this month and terns\, Osprey\, Bald Eagle (year round) and other early migrants are possible. With most of our summer residents still present as well\, we should find a good diversity throughout the evening. \n  \nJack and Jay plan to first take a good look in the Oxbow and then wrap up the evening at Lost Bridge over the Great Miami River. The trip will end around dusk (9:00 PM?). It will likely be hot at this season\, even at this time of day\, so we suggest bringing sunscreen\, insect repellant and water to make your visit more comfortable. Feel free to contact Jack or Jay if you have any questions. \n  \nUnless otherwise indicated\, all trips start at the upper Oxbow parking lot. To reach the upper Oxbow parking area\, go south on US Hwy 50 from the I-275 #16 exit. In about 200 yards\, turn left (east) at the edge of the Circle K (between the Circle K and Waffle House) and go over the levee to where the road T’s with a fence directly in front of you. Turn right and go to the Oxbow entrance sign. Turn left into the Oxbow. The upper parking area is immediately on the right.  You can also use Google Maps and search for “Oxbow Nature Conservancy”.
