Text Box: Note to Field Trip Participants t Always call the trip leader so you will know about last-minute changes in plans. t On all trips bring appropriate clothing, including rain gear, and wear sturdy boots on hikes. Binoculars and bird-identification guides are helpful on the birding trips. In warmer weather bring drinking water. t Trips will go rain or shine; after all, some of the best birding is in “fowl” weather. CALENDARSeptember and October
