Field Trip Leader: Jane Taylor

Join Jane for a morning outing to the Lincoln Wastewater Treatment Plant. Several large ponds can hold any number of duck species, and if the water levels are favorable, shorebirds as well. Trees, fields, and fenceposts adjacent to the levees may yield raptors, sparrows, woodpeckers, and other species. A small wetland area visible from the levees can hold rails, herons, egrets, gallinules, and Marsh Wrens.

After birding the plant as time permits, we will explore other watery/marshy/grassy sites in the area. The trip should end by noon; bring water and snacks. The plant is often windy so bring warm layers. Spotting scopes are extremely useful so if you have one, bring it along.  Heavy rain will cancel.

Meeting location and directions will be provided upon registration.
