Meet trip leaders Erin Madden and Bill Norris at the Lake Roberts Boat Launch area at 8:30 am. Birding will start around the parking / fishing area and also across the creek to the picnic area side. Time permitting, we'll also bird the Upper End campground to the south side of the lake, and the dam area.

We'll scan open water for waterfowl (ducks, geese, grebes, loons, cormorants), keep our eyes open for raptors (eagles, hawks, falcons) overhead and look and listen for numerous songbird species (sparrows, blackbirds, titmice, chickadees, jays, crows, ravens, wrens, wood warblers) that frequent marsh, cliff and woody vegetation bordering the lake.

Birders of all skill levels are welcome!

Interested in ride-sharing from Silver City? Meet at 7:15 am at WNMU Fine Arts Center south parking lot, returning by 1 pm.

Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible parking and restrooms are available at the Boat Launch area and Upper End Campground. Parking lot surfaces are mostly flat, loose gravel. Trails are narrow, sometimes overgrown and muddy, mostly flat with increasing slope deeper into trails. The Dam Area is quite steep.
