NETFO Golden Plover Field Trip
NETFO Golden Plover Field Trip
Fort Sherman Dam Recreational Area
Lake Bob Sandlin
March 19, 8:00 am to Noon
David Brotherton will lead a field trip with the American Golden Plover as the target bird. Based on eBird records, mid-to-late March is a peak time to spot them on their migration north to breed on the tundra from Alaska east to Baffin Island.
The field trip will start at 8:00 AM at the Fort Sherman Dam Recreational Area. Enter “Titus County Fresh Water Supply District #1” in your maps app to locate the recreational area. When you turn off County Road 3417 onto Fort Sherman Dam Road, look for the ‘old’ boat ramp on your left. We will meet David in the parking lot for that boat ramp. After birding around the recreational area, we will head to various locations to look for the Golden Plovers.
Call/email Mark to let him to know to expect you and for more information.
