Field Trip: Urban Waterfowl – Great Miami River at Hamilton
Sunday, February 23, 8:00 a.m.

The theme of this field trip will be wintering and early spring migrant waterfowl (and other water birds) in an urban setting. It might surprise some that the Great Miami Riverfront in Fairfield and Hamilton, Ohio can be an excellent place to see waterfowl, gulls and other water birds during the cold seasons. In fact the colder the better, as the Great Miami remains at least partially open even when other local reservoirs, lakes and ponds freeze over. When these conditions exist, the river can host hundreds of water birds. During mild winters, when all of our lakes and ponds are open and free of ice, the Great Miami still sees its share of water birds and usually has a few surprises.
