SUMMARY:Lye Creek Prairie Burn Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, October 17\, 2026 @ 8:30 am – 11:00 am \n  \nThe flooding from the heavy rains in August caused The Burn to close for a time due to high water there\, but it has reopened as of this writing. The water has receded but may still offer some waterfowl or shorebirds this year at Lye Creek Prairie Burn aka “The Burn” for the fall field trip there on October 17\, 2026 from 8:30-11:00am.

To register\, email Laurie Voss at laurievoss25@gmail.com. \n  \nPREPARATION & ACCESS CONSIDERATIONS: The mowed grass trail terrain ranges from flat to uneven. The ground can be muddy in some areas which may make hiking difficult\, and is not wheelchair accessible. Hiking shoes will help with the terrain. There is a small shelter with a roof and benches near the bird feeders. Please note that there are no restroom facilities on the property\, and all trails are exposed to direct sun.  \n  \nLOCATION: The participants will meet at The Burn at 8:30 am in the parking lot.

SUMMARY:Fall Birding at Goose Pond
DESCRIPTION:Join BACI and experienced hike leader Richard Garrett for an afternoon field trip to Goose Pond Fish and Wildlife Area in search of late/fall sparrows\, waterfowl\, cranes\, and raptors. We will hope that the Whooping Cranes decide to stop off at Goose Pond this year. We also frequently see Northern Harriers and Rough-legged Hawks as well as a variety of ducks and geese.  \n  \nThe last part of the evening will be spent at Bear Run Mines awaiting the appearance of the Short-eared Owls just before dusk. Viewing the owls is magical and you won’t want to miss it. No matter how many times you view these wonderful birds\, it never gets old.  \n  \nLOCATION: The hike will take place on Saturday\, November 14\, 2026 from 1:00-6:00 pm. Participants will meet at the Goose Pond Visitor’s Center parking lot at 1:00 pm.  \n  \nPREPARATION & ACCESS CONSIDERATIONS: Much of the field trip will be by car with multiple stops to get out and view birds. The habitats at Goose Pond do not have much shade\, though the car portion of the trip will. Roads are mostly flat\, while some trails/grass may be muddy or slightly flooded depending on the recent weather. Be sure to bring binoculars and a spotting scope if you have one. Many of the birds may be viewed at a distance.  \n  \nREGISTRATION: This field trip is limited to 10 participants and prior registration is required. BACI members will have priority until October 15. To register\, tap the link below\, and email Laurie Voss at laurievoss25@gmail.com for any questions. Please include your phone number in case of the need to cancel\, and note whether or not you are a member. This is a popular field trip so we expect registration to fill up early. Non-members should sign up early because after October 15\, it will be first come first serve.  \n  \nWhat: Field Trip to Goose Pond Fish and Wildlife Area \nWhen: Saturday\, November 14\, 2026 from 1:00-6:00 pm \nWhere: Meet at Goose Pond Visitors Center \nRegister: Sign up online here
