SUMMARY:Labor Day Birding. Shawnee Lookout Park and Lost Bridge With Ryan Jorgensen
DESCRIPTION:Fall Migration; Warblers & Shorebirds \nLocation: Shawnee Lookout Park and Lost Bridge \nMonday\, September 1st\, 2025 (Labor Day) @ 8:00 am \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: Ryan Jorgensen\, (630) 333-2631\, jorgensen28ryan@gmail.com \n An excellent argument can be made that\, after May\, September is the next best birding month in our region\, at least in terms of the greatest number of species one could find in a given month. September represents the peak of fall migration for both song birds (especially warblers) and shorebirds. Numbers of other species such as early waterfowl\, long-legged waders\, tern’s\, raptors and others also migrate south during this month. Fall migration will be revving up on this date and finding a diversity of species will be the primary focus on this field trip. \nOur trip leader Ryan Jorgensen is a skilled birder and naturalist and an expert level herpetologist. Ryan is also a current ASO board member. Since our primary focus of this field trip is the fall migration of warblers and other songbirds\, Ryan will spend most of the morning at Shawnee Lookout. Shawnee Lookout is a great birding location and songbirds\, both resident and migrants are abundant here. Towards the end of the morning Ryan will lead us over to Lost Bridge\, which spans the Great Miami River. There should be a lot of exposed sandbars at this location which can attract a host of water birds\, including shorebirds. This is also the premier spot in Hamilton County to see Bald Eagles. Ryan found a large number of soft-shelled turtles at Lost Bridge recently and we may see a few of them. The nearby gravel pits may also hold some of these same species. If time permits Ryan might take a look at the Oxbow\, another great nearby birding location. \nThe diverse habitats of these excellent birding sites at this time of the year should yield a great diversity of species. Warblers and many other song birds should be abundant. Shorebirds\, herons & egrets\, terns\, and other water birds could be seen in nearby locations. Hawks\, including Osprey & Bald Eagles\, are all likely to be found during this morning trip.  \nThe plan is to bird until a little after 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 Ryan if you have any questions.  \nDirections to Shawnee Lookout Park: We will meet at the Shawnee Lookout boat ramps 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) \nThe Meeting Place can be found here: Shawnee Lookout boat ramp upper parking lot

SUMMARY:East Fork State Park Saturday\, September 13\, 2025 with Bill Stanley
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Early Fall Migration \nLocation: East Fork State Park \nDate: Saturday\, September 13\, 2025 \nMeet: 8:00 A.M. at the South Swimming Beach Parking Lot (see the directions below) \nLeader: Bill Stanley\, (513) 324-2796\, tyrannus58@gmail.com \nCome out and join us for what should be a great day of birding. The focus of the trip will be early fall migrants. The migration patterns of many types of birds overlaps around this date. Many neo-tropical song birds (including many warblers) should be found. Water birds of several families should also be seen. 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. Also consider that East Fork has a well-deserved reputation for attracting rare species. For instance American Avocets have recently been seen at South Beach and a Neo-tropical Cormorant seems to have been present all summer and continues to be seen. \nOur trip leader\, Bill Stanley\, is a skilled and expert birder and an experienced naturalist. Bill is a long time ASO advocate and current board member. Many of you know Bill as he has led many field trips for ASO and several other local conservation organizations over the years. While East Fork State Park is a well-known birding destination in the Greater Cincinnati area\, few people know the area as well as Bill does. East Fork happens to be Bill’s “local patch” as he virtually lives right next door to this large 4\,870 acre State Park which is located in Clermont County\, Ohio. \nBill plans to begin our trip at the south beach which is probably the best spot to find a diversity of water birds. From there\, Bill will move to several other spots and habitats around the park. Bill is a well-rounded naturalist who\, aside from birds\, has a great interest in all aspects of nature and he will gladly share his knowledge on these topics. While we will drive to several spots around the park\, we will mostly be on foot. But the walking will be moderate and at a leisurely pace over mostly level trails and roadsides. Bill will probably stay at it until birding begins to tail off around noon. So come out and see a diversity of birds on what should be a beautiful early fall morning. Restrooms are available in the park. If you have any questions feel free to contact Bill. \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 right 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. \nThe Meeting Place can be found here: East Fork State Park South Beach \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 \nhttps://stateparks.com/east_fork_state_park_in_ohio.html \n(Contributed by Jay Stenger)

SUMMARY:Odonata - The World of Dragon and Damselflies\, Near and Far
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, September 18\, 2025 \nTime: 7 pm \nLocation: Sharon Centre and Zoom \nSpeaker: Brian Wulker \nHave you ever been out birding and come across a flash of crimson or emerald across the sky\, only to find out it is no bird at all\, but a brilliantly colored dragonfly? Despite sharing the skies with our feathered friends\, dragon and damselflies have wildly different live cycles and behaviors than what we see in birds. To learn more about these aerial\, predatory insects\, please join us in learning from local dragonfly expert (and birder) Brian Wulker on Thursday\, September 18th at 7pm at the Sharon Centre. Brian will cover the life history\, behavior\, taxonomy\, and habitats of dragonflies broadly\, as well as focus on local species and places you can go to see them yourself! \nThe Meeting Place can be found here: Sharon Centre \nThis meeting is in person at Sharon Centre and on zoom as well. \nHere is the zoom invite for those who want to attend from home: \nPlease wait until 6:50 before clicking the link.  You will be admitted when the program is ready to begin. \nhttps://zoom.us/j/97031147863?pwd=xu0JYu8FXOLpvrxwLqMEkevHwOQZIK.1

SUMMARY:Songbird Migration At Mt Airy Forest With Jack Stenger
DESCRIPTION:Fall Songbird Migration \nLocation: Mt. Airy Forest \nDate: Sunday\, September 21\, 2025 \nMeet: At 7:30 A.M. At Mt. Airy Forest in the parking lot at Everybody’s Tree House on Trail Ridge Road (see directions below). \nLeader: Jack Stenger\, (513) 503-3389 jack@cardinallandconservancy.org \nFall songbird migration will still be underway on this morning walk and both\, residents and migrant songbirds should abound. Our trip leader will be Jack Stenger. Jack is an expert birder\, a skilled naturalist and a long time ASO advocate. He is also the Director of Conservation for the Cardinal Land Conservancy. His field skills\, particularly his recognition of bird calls and songs\, are off the charts. With Jack’s help we expect to find many species of warblers as well as many other songbirds including flycatchers\, vireos\, swallows\, thrushes\, tanagers\, sparrows\, grosbeaks\, and buntings among others. Hawks\, cuckoos\, hummingbirds and woodpeckers will be present and even Wild Turkeys are likely. \nMt. Airy Forest is a large City of Cincinnati Park that consists of 1\,459 acres of mostly woodlands that range from mature forest\, mixed conifer-deciduous woodlands\, pine groves\, woodland edges\, tree lined streams\, open park land and an arboretum. There are miles of hiking trails and roadsides\, making birding access easy. Mt. Airy also acts as a “migrant trap” during spring and fall\, as from the sky this large “island” of green stands out from the surrounding urban sea and thus attracts many birds.  \nJacks plan is to walk and bird around at least a few different sections of the park\, beginning at the well-marked and very obvious Everybody’s Tree House. Other than to move from one section of the park to another\, this trip will consist mostly of walking. Most of the area is relatively flat and walking will be at a leisurely birders pace. Restrooms are available in the park. If you expect to see birds binoculars are necessary. Water and comfortable shoes will make your walk more enjoyable. The trip will break up around noon. If you have any questions feel free to contact Jack. \nDirections: Mt. Airy Forest is located at 5083 Colerain Avenue. To get to our meeting spot from the Mt. Airy Forest Colerain entrance\, turn into the park onto Blue Spruce Road and immediately turn left onto Trail Ridge Road. Drive 4 tenths of a mile on Trail Ridge Road to the parking lot for the Everybody’s Tree House. \nVisit the Mt. Airy Forest website for further information. \nhttps://www.cincinnati-oh.gov/cincyparks/visit-a-park/find-a-parkfacility/mt-airy-forest/ \n(Contributed by Jay Stenger)
