Join wildlife artist and outdoor writer Michael Kensinger for a slow, one-mile walk around the Ray Amato Trail in search of birds and other wildlife. Our goal is to observe the breeding rituals of the local American Woodcock population that uses the wetland to reproduce. In addition, we will observe several nest boxes purchased and placed through Kensinger’s “Condos for Critters” fundraiser and “Friends of Tipton Wetlands” group. The Ray Amato trail and NBCRC wetland run parallel to the Little Juniata River and includes a variety of habitat types that attract a plethora of species. The trail is even terrain, easy access, and should be an enjoyable experience, weather permitting!
What to bring: binoculars, comfortable walking shoes, bug repellant, drink, and snack as desired
Address: Meet at the parking lot of the Northern Blair County Rec. Center
