Meet at the west parking lot at the Discovery Center (1365 N. 1250 Rd). This is our joint trip with Lawrence Public Library Spring migration should be close to full swing so many species of birds will likely be present. We will walk the diagonal trail down to the low water crossing. Then we will walk the center trail east along the old N. 1250 Rd alignment to the Naismith Canal, cross on the bridge and continue east. Our intent is to walk to the center intersection and Grebe Pond blind which is 1.5 miles round trip. Warblers, vireos, and buntings should be in full migration mode as well as several rail and wader species. This is the height of migration for the next 10 days. Weather will be a major factor in what we look for and how far east we go. We will probably be there 2-3 hours but you would be able to return to the parking lot at any time. You can usually anticipate some of the trails will be wet or muddy.Photo: Warbling Vireo by Matthew James
