SUMMARY:Van Cortlandt Nature Group Walk
DESCRIPTION:Take a slow walk in the park and learn about local flora and fauna with naturalist Debbi Dolan. \n\n\n\n\nSeptember heralds the beginning of autumn as we say farewell to summer. Fall bird migration is underway\, and Van Cortlandt Park is an important stopover for migrating birds and provides critical breeding habitat. Raptors\, warblers\, thrushes\, sparrows\, and other songbirds find Van Cortlandt Park to be a productive area. \nHibernating mammals like chipmunks and squirrels are hoarding for the winter months. Pollinating bees\, wasps\, butterflies are still going strong\, and dragonflies are on the hunt for mosquitos. Rosehips\, blackberries\, elderberries\, and acorns provide welcome food for chipmunks\, squirrels\, migrant and resident birds. In the meadows and woodlands\, asters\, sunflowers\, ironweed\, Joe-Pye and boneset flowers are still in bloom and attracting many nectar-feeding insects. \nWalk meets on Sunday\, September 6 at 9:30am in front of the Van Cortlandt Nature Center. \nRSVP Now.
