Nature Miramichi is having a “Warbler Walk” at French Fort Cove on Monday May 13. Non-members are welcome to join us. Warblers are small, colourful songbirds that are just returning to the north from their southern wintering locations. We will catch the early migrants in our first walk, species such as the Pine, Myrtle and Black-and-white Warblers and the Northern Parula.
We will meet at the main parking lot on the Newcastle side on Cove Road (across from the curling club) at 730 am. People are welcome to join later, we will walk the trail in a clockwise direction. Binoculars are useful but you don’t need to have them. Much birding is done by ear, so if you have a smartphone the free Merlin app is very useful for song ID. The walking is at a slow pace, we could be out 2 to 3 hours, but you can come and go as you wish. Although birding is our focus, we also enjoy looking at plants and not so much, the bugs (but know they are why we have the birds)
