Rambles are slow walks to notice nature in a variety of local habitats. Please register with Anne (n8ture.anne [at symbol] sympatico [dot] ca or 613 389 six-seven-four-two) by the Sunday prior to this ramble to receive details of location and directions.

Please be aware of Poison Ivy, Wild Parsnip, ticks and other nasties. Wearing long pants tucked in socks or boots is recommended. A snack or lunch as well as water, a hat and sunscreen are advised and hiking poles may be useful.

Wingspan is a competitive, medium-weight, card-driven, engine-building board game about birds!

Participants in this recurring KFN social event are split into groups and play one game with their group. Social interaction and cookies are encouraged.

No experience with the game is necessary as you can learn from other players in a game situation.

Space can be limited as we usually play in a private residence with limited copies of the board game.

If you are interested in joining in, please contact waycik @ fieldnat . org (take out the spaces).

Leader: Steve Coates
Meet at the park and ride at County Road 4 and 401 at 0800. The first stop will be the Menzel Centennial Provincial Nature Reserve, north of Napanee, but we will bird Roblin Road on the way in. Then over to Nugent Road to (hopefully) find some Loggerhead Shrikes. Time permitting, we will head down to Morven Creek for some shore birds. Return to the park and ride by 2ish.
That time of year there is bound to be a lot of insects around Menzel, bug spray will be a must, as well as sunblock, water and snacks as needed.

Location: Martin Edwards NR, Amherst Island

Ferry at 9:30am and return 1:00pm
