Spring Run Trail
Join Ray Perry and other SAAS members for 8:00 am bird walks along the beautiful
Spring Run Trail in Saratoga Springs on the first Saturday of each month:
* December 3,
* January 7,
* February 4,
* March 4,
* April 3, and
* May 6.

So far, 125 bird species have been seen along the Spring Run Trail. See Cornell’s
eBird online checklist for this hotspot:
https://ebird.org/hotspot/L1548124.
The one-mile trail is paved and flat. It is used for walking, running and biking, as well as birding. It offers a variety of habitats.

Dress warmly. Bring binoculars if you have them. All skill levels are welcomed.

Meet at 8:00 a.m. sharp at the Spring Run Trail parking area near the corner of East Avenue and Excelsior Ave. If the parking area is full, park just slightly down the road on Excelsior Avenue in the EBI Beverage Center parking lot, which is adjacent to the
Spring Run Trail.
