Description:
Expect to see a variety of birds including migrating warblers and flycatchers, raptors over the field, and potentially waterbirds along the upper Jones Falls. This area saw 30+ species of warblers in 2020! This walk coincides with the ‘All the Birds at Lake Roland’ event which will tally all birds seen that weekend inside the park. We’ll walk a loop trail around the former rugby field which is now a wild meadow and explore two small side trails down to Roland Run. The walk is approximately .7 miles on even, but occasionally muddy terrain. We’ll return to the parking area, at which point participants can leave, or continue onto the Blue Trail which leads to Lake Roland. The Blue Trail is an out-and-back trail along the upper Jones Falls before it enters Lake Roland. Those who wish to continue can connect with the Red Trail to head deeper into the park or return along the Blue Trail to the parking area (approx 1.8m to Red Trail and back). We’ll meet at the trailhead of the Old Rugby Field. Participants must sign a Covid-19 waiver. Masks and Social Distancing Required. Trip limited to 10 participants. RSVP required.
