Jim Edlhuber to Lead Nature Hike

Scuppernong Springs Nature Trail Photography Hike

Come join the fun with a hike at Scuppernong Springs Nature Trail. The date is Wednesday, June 1^st 2011.  The trail consists of a 1.5 mile loop and we will be photographing nature and wildlife. This is a great opportunity to get some good wildflower, bird, insect, and general nature photos. You will also have an opportunity to share some techniques and learn from other club members. If you haven't done this before, this is the best way to learn! If you bring a tripod, remember the hike is 1.5 miles and tripods can get very heavy. I will be using a field stick as a tripod when and if needed. Meet at 8:00 AM at the parking areas with the map information which is just west of the intersection of State Hwy 67 on County Road ZZ. This location is adjacent to the entrance of Ottawa Lake Camp Ground.  I am planning on the hike lasting approximately 2 hours.  Rain date: Thursday, June 2^nd, 2011.

Anyone interested in car pooling should send a mass email to the club members.  Please provide your name and location.  Anyone interested in car pooling can work out the details together.

Warbler Alert from Jim Edlhuber

I was down at Lake Park Milwaukee yesterday and the warblers are migrating through there and many other places in the state. Lake Park is special because Lake Michigan bird species tend to follow the shoreline north instead of crossing over the lake so concentrations are high there.  Maybe there are a few interested members who want the challenge of photographing these small, elusive birds.
