(MD) (Nature Forward)
December is a good time to begin learning how to ID overwintering waterfowl in our area. Typically, local waters are not yet frozen and outdoor temperatures are still comfortable for the birders! We’ll base our field trip at Gunner’s Lake in Germantown, MD, where a trail around the water allows for waterfowl watching with binoculars. Of course, our leader(s) will be carrying a spotting scope and anyone is welcome to bring along their own as well. While our focus will be waterfowl, we’ll keep an eye open for all manner of birdlife in the habitats around the Lake’s perimeter.
