Many waterfowl winter in our region and the second half of February marks the beginning of spring waterfowl migration so we should find plenty of ducks at East Fork. Our trip leader, Joe Bens, is an expert birder and knows East Fork State Park as well as anyone. In fact Joe is the compiler of the East Fork Christmas Bird Count for the past 29 years.
Joe plans to drive around the lake from one vantage point to another, stopping and scanning for waterfowl and other birds at each spot. A diverse number of other species are also expected on this trip and you can be sure that Joe won’t miss much. Winter residents will still be around as well as a few early migrants. There is a fairly reliable spot for Red-headed Woodpeckers and raptors of several different species are expected, including Bald Eagle.
