SUMMARY:Evening Bird Watch and Woodcock Counting Hike
DESCRIPTION:Spring weather is just around the corner\, which means it time for the American Woodcock to perform its spring “sky dance”! Join Otsego Land Trust Staff and Delaware Otsego Audubon Society for an evening bird watch and Woodcock Counting Hike at Parslow Road Conservation Area. Local birders\, Bob Donnelly\, Charlie Scheim and Sandy Bright will lead two hikes\, the first on April 6th and the second on April 20th. Both hikes will begin at 7:30 and end roughly around 9:00 pm.\n\nAmerican Woodcock spend most of their time hidden in fields and on the forest floor\, where they probe for earthworms. But on spring nights\, males perform very conspicuous displays\, giving a buzzy peent call\, then launching into the air. Their erratic display flight includes a distinctive\, twittering flight sound and ends with a steep dive back to the ground. The wet thickets\, shrubby swamps\, and open fields at Parslow Road Conservation Area are ideal habitats for these interesting birds that have unfortunately seen a decline in population over the years.\n\nThe hike will begin at 7:30 pm with a walk on the trail listening and looking for the birds that inhabit this protected property. The sun is expected to set at 7:30 pm at which time the group will position itself in the best location to view and count the Woodcocks. The hike will be on the trail\, but it may be wet\, so please dress appropriately. A headlamp or flashlight and binoculars are recommended. To RSVP\, please email Marcie  at the Land Trust or call 607-547-2366 ex. 103.\n\nParslow Road Conservation Area is owned and protected by Otsego Land Trust for public enjoyment.

SUMMARY:Lordsland Preserve: New Trail Opening and Forest Hike
DESCRIPTION:Join Otsego Land Trust and our partners from Otsego County Conservation Association and Otsego 2000 as we celebrate the re-opening of the Doc Ahlers Road trail at Lordsland Preserve.\n\nThe program will start with a short acknowledgement and special “limb” cutting to open the new trail. Thanks to funding raised from Henry Horvath’s epic Denali Mountain expedition\, Otsego Outdoors has funded two new kiosks (built by SUNY Delhi Construction Technology & Management Department)\, a roadside sign\, and new trail markers.\n\nThe guided hike will take participants on a 0.75 mile route along the newly marked trail through a diverse forest landscape. This will be a moderate level hike down a gradual slope to the wetlands and beaver ponds at the valley floor. Hikers will then ascend back up the slope through northern hardwood forest\, crossing over several springs and streams.\n\nHikers should be prepared for uneven terrain in a few places and mud. Appropriate footwear and hiking poles are recommended. Water and snacks will be provided for participants either before or after the hike. Please be advised that there is little or no cell phone service in this area. This is a rain or shine event.\n\nPlease RSVP by emailing marcie@otsegolandtrust.org\, or calling 607-547-2366 (ext. 103).\nLordsland Preserve is owned and protected by Otsego Land Trust for public enjoyment. Learn more about Lordsland Preserve and other Land Trust protected properties at otsegolandtrust.org\n\nAttending this event counts toward one of the eight activities of the Otsego Outdoors Spring Octet.
