SUMMARY:Spring Migration at Spring Grove Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Spring Warbler and Song Bird Migration \nLocation: Spring Grove Cemetery \nDate and Time: Sunday\, May 7th 2023\, 8:00 AM \nMeet:  At 8:00 a.m. just beyond the tunnel at the Spring Grove main Spring Grove Ave. entrance. See directions below \nLeader: Jack Stenger\, (513) 503-3389\, jackstenger@gmail.com \n  \nThe focus of this field trip will be migrant songbirds\, especially warblers\, as the spring migration of northward bound neo-tropical species will be at peak on this date.  Spring blooms and plants are also at peak during this period and they will also be pointed out during this morning walk through the beautiful grounds of Spring Grove Cemetery. Our leader\, Jack Stenger\, is an expert birder and naturalist. Jack is a conservation biologist with the Hamilton County Great Parks and is a life time ASO advocate. Jack’s birding skills are off the charts and he will help us identify birds by sight and sound. With Jack as our leader we won’t miss much. \nBirds will be very vocal and with Jack’s guidance we can expect to see (and hear) many species of warblers as well as many other songbirds including flycatchers\, vireos\, swallows\, thrushes\, tanagers\, sparrows\, grosbeaks\, buntings\, orioles\, waxwings\, finches\, hawks and more. The park-like grounds at Spring Grove (733 acres) are beautiful at all seasons\, but especially so during the spring. Spring Grove Cemetery is a good example of a “migrant trap”.  Birds migrating through our urban and residential areas are drawn to this “island of green” in an otherwise heavily populated area to forage and rest before continuing on their way north. At times the spring birding here can be spectacular. \nJack’s plan is to take a leisurely morning walk throughout the cemetery grounds and see what we can find. The trip will mostly be on foot\, but walking will be at an easy birding pace with frequent stops to observe birds\, plants and other animals. At some point Jack will likely caravan us to move to another section of the cemetery. This trip will end sometime around noon. You of course can break off at any time you choose. Binoculars are necessary to see small birds well.  Restrooms are available at the cemetery main office and remain open during regular gate hours. Water and sunscreen might make for a more enjoyable trip. If you have any questions feel free to contact Jack. \nDirections: \nMeet Jack at 8 AM at the main entrance to Spring Grove Cemetery\, which is located at 4521 Spring Grove Avenue just west of the Winton Road intersection. To find our meeting spot\, drive in the main gates of the cemetery and go straight. You will go through a short tunnel (old RR archway). Just beyond the tunnel\, pull over on the right\, park alongside the road and look for Jack. \n  \nYou can visit the Spring Grove Cemetery website at: \nhttps://www.springgrove.org/locations/spring-grove-cemetery-arboretum/ \n  \nThis is a link to Spring Grove Cemetery Maps: \nhttps://www.springgrove.org/resource/maps/

SUMMARY:May Program - Invasive Plants (Green Roofs postponed)
DESCRIPTION:Our scheduled monthly Audubon program for May\, Green Roofs\, featuring Dr. Virginia Russell\, has to be postponed due to illness. We’ll try to find a new date for her in the future. \nInstead\, we will move up our anticipated June speaker to May. The program will still be held at 7:00 p.m. this Wednesday\, May 17\, at Sharon Woods Visitor Center. \nDr. Denis Conover is a biology professor at the University of Cincinnati. He will be familiar to many of you\, having led many botany-focused field trips to Spring Grove Cemetery and Burnet Woods. \nDenis is currently conducting a botanical survey of the Cincinnati area following up on surveys conducted by Thomas Lea in 1840 and E. Lucy Braun in 1934. One of the most striking differences between the earlier surveys and the current survey is the increase in non-native invasive plants found in the Cincinnati area. Denis will talk about some of these plants. \nWe will meet at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday\, May 17\, at the Sharon Centre (Sharon Woods Visitors Center)\, which is located at 11450 Lebanon Road\, Sharonville\, Ohio. From the park entrance on Lebanon Road\, follow the Sharon Woods Drive to the first large parking lot on the left. The visitors center is the large building at the back of the parking lot.

SUMMARY:Field Trip - Middle Creek Park
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Breeding Birds in Riparian & Mature Forest \nLocation: Middle Creek Park\, Boone County\, Kentucky \nDate: Sunday\, May 28\, 2023 \nMeeting Time & Place: At 8:00 AM in the Middle Creek Park Parking Lot\, Boone County\, Kentucky. (See directions below). \nLeader: Ann Oliver\, (513)-307-0929\, annieobirder@yahoo.com \n  \nMiddle Creek Park (a 230 acre Boone County Park) and the Boone County Cliffs Preserve (a Nature Conservancy property) are both nestled in the wooded hills of western Boone County\, Kentucky. The picturesque Middle Creek runs between these two locations and comprise one of the most beautiful riparian corridors in our region. Join our trip leader\, Ann Oliver\, as she explores this fascinating area on what should be a pleasant morning walk. Spring migration will be tailing off on this date but the breeding season will be well under way. Ann is an experienced and highly skilled birder and long-time ASO advocate and current board member. Ann has led many field trips for ASO and other organizations\, including several to this location\, so she knows this area very well. \n  \nWe may still find a few late spring migrants on this date\, but at least 13 species of warblers and many other birds breed in the woodlands and forested hillsides of this beautiful area. The birding in this area can be phenomenal. The region is heavily forested and contains some old-growth forest habitat reliable for breeding Worm-eating Warblers which is generally rare in most of our region. Other breeding forest birds are also expected\, including Broad-winged Hawk\, Cerulean\, Hooded and Kentucky Warblers\, Ovenbird\, Louisiana Waterthrush and both Scarlet & Summer Tanagers. Middle Creek\, which flows through the area\, is loaded with Northern Parula’s\, Yellow-throated Warblers and numerous other breeding birds. Prairie Warblers & Yellow-breasted Chats are common in adjacent successional areas. \n  \nAnn plans to begin the trip at Middle Creek Park and spend some time walking and birding along the trails in this wonderful park. Ann then plans to move us to some other spots\, depending on what locations will be accessible at the time. Ann will likely end the trip at the nearby Conservancy Park which is located on KY 18 in the small village of Belleview. This small forty-five acre park provides a more open habitat and has a mix of prairie\, woodland\, a small pond and hillsides on a reclaimed gravel pit. Yellow-breasted Chats\, Orchard Orioles and abundant butterflies can be found here. Blue Grosbeaks can also be found in several places in the area. \n  \nThis trip will end around noon and will consist mostly of moderate walking along the trails at Middle Creek Park\, and in a few other areas. Also note that there are no restrooms in any of these places\, but a port-o-let is usually available at Middle Creek Park. If nature calls you’ll have to drive back to civilization or find a quiet spot. Comfortable shoes\, water\, sun screen and insect repellent will all make your trip more enjoyable. Contact Ann if you have any questions. \n  \nDirections to Middle Creek Park: \nFrom I-75: from I-75 take Kentucky 18\, exit # 18\, at Florence and go west. When you reach Burlington\, KY\, continue for 6.5 miles to the Middle Creek Park entrance\, which will be on your left (south side of KY 18). The entrance and parking lot is just a short distance past Middle Creek Rd. \nDirections from the west: Take I-275 south and cross the Ohio River. After crossing the river take the first exit\, which is KY 8\, exit # 11. Turn right (west) onto KY 8\, which immediately becomes KY 20 after a short distance. Continue west and then south on KY 20 for about 12 miles. At the intersection with KY 18\, turn left or east onto KY 18 and go about 1 mile. The entrance to Middle Creek Park will be on your right (south side of KY 18). Middle Creek Rd. is just a short distance ahead. \nFor directions\, a map and information about Middle Creek Park (a Boone County KY Park) go to the following webpage’s: \nhttps://cms7files.revize.com/boonecountyky/document_center/Parks/MiddleCreek.pdf \nhttps://www.boonecountyky.org/departments/parks/middle_creek_park.php \n  \nFor further info on the Nature Conservancy’s Boone County Cliffs go to the following webpage: \nhttps://www.boonecountyky.org/departments/parks/boone_cliffs.php \n  \n(Contributed by Jay Stenger) \n  \n
