SUMMARY:Spring Migration at Shawnee Lookout and Lost Bridge
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Spring Migration \nLocation: Shawnee Lookout Park and Lost Bridge \nDate: Saturday\, April 13\, 2024\, 8:00 AM \nMeet: at the upper Boat Ramp parking lot across from the main entrance to Shawnee Lookout Park \nLeader: Ann Oliver\, (513) 307-0929\, annieobirder@yahoo.com \n  \n By the middle of April spring will be in full swing and this winter’s weather forgotten. Spring migration in general will be near peak and a diversity of avian species should be found in the Lower Great Miami River Valley at this season. In addition\, many woodland plants and wildflowers will be in bud and bloom\, adding their beauty to the natural scene. Ann Oliver\, our trip leader\, is an extremely skilled birder and conservationist who has birded our area for many years. Ann is a long-time Audubon Society advocate and current board member. In addition to her local birding knowledge\, Ann has birded all across the United States and the world in search of birds. Ann is also very familiar with Shawnee Lookout and her experience will certainly come in handy as birds should be abundant and vocal on this date. \nThe month of April coincides with the spring migration of a diverse number of families of birds. Ducks\, herons and egrets\, shorebirds\, terns & gulls\, raptors (including Bald Eagles) and migrant & returning summer songbirds (including several warbler species) are all expected on this date. Ann’s plan is to first focus on spring migrant songbirds and other woodland species at Shawnee Lookout Park. Towards the end of the morning\, Ann plans to make a stop at Lost Bridge and the adjacent ponds to look for water birds. Depending on time and current reports\, Ann might visit another nearby spot. \nWe encourage you to come out with Ann and witness the great diversity of spring migration on what should be a beautiful spring morning in the Shawnee Lookout area. Most of this trip will be on foot\, but walking will be easy to moderate and at a birders pace.  As always\, be prepared for muddy spots\, especially if conditions have been wet. It goes without saying that binoculars are necessary for seeing birds well. This field trip will end sometime around noon. Restrooms are available at Shawnee Lookout. Feel free to contact Ann if you have any questions. \n*Note: A Great Parks motor vehicle permit is required at Shawnee Lookout. Permits are $10 annual or $5 daily for residents of Hamilton County and $16 annual or $8 daily for non-residents \n  \nDirections to Shawnee Lookout Park: \nShawnee Lookout is located at 2008 Lawrenceburg Road\, North Bend Ohio 45052. To get there from I-275\, take the Kilby Road Exit # 21. Turn right onto Kilby Rd and go the short distance to the light at US 50 and turn right. Go about 1.7 miles to Lawrenceburg Road and turn left at the light. Follow Lawrenceburg Road across the bridge (Lost Bridge) over the Great Miami River. Turn right at the stop sign and go about 1.5 miles to the Upper Boat Ramp Parking Lot on the right\, directly across the street from the Shawnee Lookout Park entrance. \nShawnee Lookout Website: \nhttps://www.greatparks.org/parks/shawnee-lookout \n  \n(Contributed by Jay Stenger) \n

SUMMARY:Spring Wildflowers and Birds at Spring Grove Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Spring Wildflowers\, Blooms\, Buds and Birds \nLocation: Spring Grove Cemetery & Arboretum \nDate: Sunday\, April 21\, 2024 \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 this field trip will be on early spring wildflowers\, blooms and buds\, but birds\, as well as all other aspects of nature will not be ignored. Over 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. 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. Denis is also a current board member of our local Audubon Society. Denis also has a great interest in birds and will equally focus on them. Spring songbird migration will be near peak on this date and Spring Grove has a great birding reputation\, especially during the spring. I think it is also safe to say that Spring Grove Cemetery is among Denis’s favorite places. \nDenis’s plan is to take us on a long leisurely spring morning walk through the cemetery observing what will be abundant signs of spring. Denis will also show us an undeveloped forested section of the cemetery that should be carpeted with woodland wildflowers. Native plants\, ornamental plantings\, invasive species\, budding shrubs and trees and birds (resident and early spring migrants) will all be pointed out\, identified and discussed.  Other than a short drive 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  \n(Contributed by Jay Stenger)

SUMMARY:April Program - Carol Trosset
DESCRIPTION:Wildflowers and Birds in an Acre of Restored Woodland \nPresented by Carol Trosset \nMonday\, April 29\, 2024\, 7:00 p.m. \nSharon Woods Visitor Center \nBeginning in the 1950s\, the Trosset family restored an acre of woodland in Evendale by letting the trees grow and repopulating the property with a large variety of native wildflowers. Using 40 years of weekly records collected by her mother\, Carol will show us the richness of the resulting habitat\, which has hosted 122 species of birds and 15 species of mammals. Data on wildflower bloom dates make it possible to see how climate change is affecting our local ephemeral wildflowers. Changes in the habitat over 70 years illustrate the opportunities and challenges of small-scale habitat restoration. \nCarol Trosset grew up in Cincinnati studying natural history with her family and as a member of several local organizations\, and recently returned here in retirement. She is the author of The Woods: The Natural History of an Acre in Southwestern Ohio\, published in 2023 by the Ohio Biological Survey. \nSharon Woods Visitor Center is located at 11450 Lebanon Road\, Sharonville\, Ohio 45241 0.8 miles south of I-275. \n
