I'll be leading a Madison Audubon field trip at Lake Farm Park just
southeast of Madison this Sunday morning (April 13.) We'll meet at the
first parking lot off Libby Rd. at 9:00 a.m., weather permitting (looks
very dicey right now, unfortunately.) If it's just spotty showers,
we'll probably at least scope the lake from the boat launch, assuming
there is open water close enough to see birds on it. In the event of
steady rain or T-storms, the trip will have to be cancelled, as the
trails will be too muddy (and it's very bad form to have your attendees
struck by lightning...)
It will be much cooler along the lake, since winds will likely be from
the northeast - dress accordingly. Waterproof footwear would be a good
idea, too.
Lake Farm Park can be reached by taking the South Towne exit off of the
Beltline (Hwy 12/18) and going south. Go "straight" through the
roundabout, across the railroad tracks and past the water treatment
plant on your right, turning left just past the fertilizer plant onto
Moorland Rd. Take that past the Nine Springs parking lot to Lake Farm
Rd. and go south past the Lussier Center to Libby Rd.
Note that if you park in the boat landing lot by the lake, you will need
either a launch permit OR a state park vehicle sticker (the park lots
themselves don't require a sticker, even though the county park is part
of the overall Capital Springs State Rec Area.)
I'll try to remember to post something to Wisbirdn by 8:00 a.m. Sunday
indicating whether the trip is on or not, but use your best judgement,
as my memory is completely unreliable these days.
