We will explore some of the trails in the “Great Dune” area of the Pine Bush. This section of the pine barrens is southwest of the Discovery Center and north of Route 20. This area is more forested than the area around the Discovery Center and has a stream running through it. We should see some late migrating songbirds of both wooded and scrub barrens. Prairie Warbler and Eastern Towhees are common if they haven’t left for warmer climes. Sparrows are common with Field Sparrows in abundance.

Meet at 8 a.m. in front of the Bank at the southwest corner of Routes 20 and 155 in Guilderland.
