Due to the extremely cold weather forecast and the frozen lake, the trip to Beltzville State Park is CANCELLED.
Rob hopes to reschedule it sometime later this winter.
Beltzville Lake is one of the premier locations for waterfowl in our area, and Winter is a great time for a wide variety of ducks and other waterfowl.
Saturday, Jan 24 · 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM EST

We'll scan the lake from a few vantage points for waterfowl, while keeping an eye on the nearby fields and forests for other birds. A scope is not needed, but if you have one please bring it along.

A Few Basic Field Trip Guidelines:
• Cell phones should be on silent or vibrate mode.
• Keep voices low while birding to minimize disturbance of the birds and allow others in the group to hear the birds and learn their songs.
• Keep pace with the trip leader. Please do not jump ahead or fall behind.
• Bring your binoculars.
• Beginners and experienced birders all welcome!
• Have fun!
