Saturday, May 17: Cold Brook Farm

Meet at 8:30 am in Tewksbury, New Jersey, at the address sent to you on registration. 

This trip will take place rain or shine, unless it is pouring.

Join us at Cold Brook Farm, the home of club members Deb and Jason DeSalvo. We will explore fields, wooded areas, the river, and wetlands to discover the many different migratory and breeding bird species that use this restored property to refuel and to nest. Deb and Jason have been working hard to remove invasive plant species and plant natives to improve the habitat for insects, birds, and other animals. Among the nest boxes they have installed are those for American kestrels and eastern bluebirds. Last year’s May visit yielded 41 species, including three vireo species, both orioles, a rose-breasted grosbeak, and a ruby-throated hummingbird.  

Bring binoculars, a snack, and something to drink. If it has rained recently, waterproof boots are recommended.
