Good morning! I am leading a guided birding walk through Hunt Country
Vineyards THIS coming Saturday! They have amazing grassland habitat and
I've never seen such abundance of meadowlarks and bobolinks in one place.
To join me for this event, and get access to some great birding, read below
for more information:
Join us for a delightful day of nature, birds, and wine at the beautiful
Hunt Country Vineyards. Expert guide, Alyssa Johnson, a local Finger Lakes
naturalist and seasoned birder, will lead you on a leisurely walk through
the vineyard grounds in search of returning migratory birds. Whether you’re
an experienced birdwatcher or a nature newcomer, this is the perfect
opportunity to connect with the natural world and enjoy the stunning
landscape of the Finger Lakes.
As we wander along a scenic gravel farm road, we’ll listen for the sweet
songs of warblers, thrushes, vireos, and other forest-dwelling birds, while
keeping an eye out for grassland species like bobolinks, meadowlarks, and
kestrels. Hunt Country Vineyards is a haven for birds of all kinds, and
Alyssa will share fascinating insights on the diverse species that call the
area home. The morning will start with a "Meet & Greet" with Suzanne Hunt,
co-owner and sustainability professional.She will share some Hunt Country
history and info on our sustainability practices.
After the walk, you’ll be treated to a self-guided wine tasting, sampling
five wines. We encourage you to bring a picnic to enjoy with your tasting
on the Hunt Country grounds. There will be local picnic snacks and wines by
the glass/bottle available for purchase in the tasting room as well. It’s a
perfect way to unwind, chat about the birds we spotted, and relax after the
stroll.
