On Saturday morning the Young Birders Club will be taking a trip to the Sterling Forest in upstate New York. Despite this area not being in Connecticut, it is home to a tantalizing collection of nesting warblers. These include Golden-winged, Cerulean, Prairie, Chestnut-sided and Hooded Warblers! Since there is no spot for Golden-winged in Connecticut, this area is one of the nearest locations to find this lovely bird. We will also explore the area around Doodletown, NY, home to Timber Rattlesnakes! The club will meet at around 6:45 at the commuter lot off exit 41 on Route 15. This trip should yield some beautiful birds for all the club to enjoy!
