[BNS_members] Birding Field Trip at Saulnier Trail

[Caroline Beddoe]

Good morning,

A reminder of the upcoming Blomidon Naturalists field trip, the Saulnier 
Trail Birding Trip, with leader Patrick Kelly.

This trip is happening Saturday May 13th at 9:00 am. This date is also 
Global Big Day [1], so a great day to get outside and observe birds!

Details about the event:

It should be fun and a beautiful day!

Location:

Meet at 9:00 am at the Laurie Saulnier Memorial Trail (Map here [2]).

The bridge on Bog Road to the west of the trail is closed (it is not 
there as it is being replaced) so anyone coming from Hantsport and west 
will have to take the 101 and get off at Exit 7. From there, at the stop 
sign with Highway 1, turn right. At the fork (Pothier Motors) keep 
right. Just before going under the 101 turn right onto Bog Road. When 
you reach the intersection with Pazant Bog Road, there is a sharp turn 
to the right. Go past the detour sign and continue for 2.8 km. There is 
a sign HWWA (Hants West Wildlife Association) and turn left to get to 
the parking area.

What to Bring:

The walk is about 2 km and goes through some areas that can be wet, so 
waterproof shoes or good boots should be worn.

Binoculars and/or a camera are great to bring if you have them.
