Blackbrook Audubon welcomes nature enthusiasts to its monthly Important Bird Area walk at 8 a.m., Nov. 28.
Participants are asked to meet at the entrance gate to the utility pipeline access road, an otherwise restricted area, by the intersection of Woodridge Lane and Forest Road in Mentor Headlands, according to a news release. This will be a closed program with group birding together, not the open-house style that’s offered by the Marsh Nature Center staff on the second Saturday morning of each month.
After birding the pipeline, participants will explore the other path that leads to the interior of the Marsh, the Wake Robin Trail boardwalk.
Parking is available along the south side of Woodridge Lane or in the lot at 8936 Woodridge at the trailhead of Wake Robin. This trail begins with a steep hill with rope railing.
In October, the group had seven kinds of sparrows, three Brown Creepers, a Virginia Rail, Wilson’s Snipe and two Northern Harriers, the release stated.
