*This event has been cancelled*

As summer starts to slow down, birds begin to make their journeys south to their wintering grounds. Join us this Saturday, August 22nd, from 7:30 a.m. - 9:30 a.m. for an early morning birding excursion throughout our property!

As the saying goes, the early bird gets the worm. We will be out early, just like this raptor, to see what birds are passing through or fueling up on seeds, berries, and insects for their journey. The walk will be 1-2 miles on even terrain. Binoculars will be provided but participants are encouraged to bring their own if they would like! Sign up today at https://flcc.formstack.com/forms/migratory_bird_morning_excursion_8_22_26

A celebration was held today at Muller Field Station to mark the completion of Project Hi-FLOW (Highschoolers Investigating Finger Lakes Watersheds).

Offered for the first time this summer, Project Hi-FLOW gave students from schools throughout the region hands-on experience in forests and wetlands across major watersheds in Ontario County.

Some activities included electrofishing, exploring small waterfalls and gullies, and removing aquatic and terrestrial invasive species. 🎣🌳

Did you know red milkweed beetles utilize their host plant, milkweed, to protect themselves from predators? Milkweed contains toxins, specifically cardenolides, that when eaten, the animal becomes toxic themselves. The bright red of the red milkweed beetle alerts predators to stay away from them.

Interested in learning more about insects, identification, and particpating in an insect bioblitz? Join us on Tuesday, August 18th from 7:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. for a Light Trapping Seminar & Insect Bioblitz with FLCC environmental conservation alum, Ben Knowlton!

Sedges have edges, rushes are round, grasses have nodes from the top to the ground. Anyone else have a rhyme to remember their plant ID?

Sallow sedge, pictured, is a native, obligate wetland species. Obligate wetland species (OBL) almost always occur in wetlands and have at least a 99% probability of being found in this ecological community.

In addition to thriving in moist, wet soils of wetlands, the sallow sedge is sturdy enough to act as a host for moths and a nesting place for sedge wrens!

The summer solstice was one month ago and the field station is showing off its summertime characteristics. Mid-summer photos around the field station...filled with life.

Pollen-covered bees searching for nectar, ripe berries waiting to be eaten by deer or bears, and lush trails with plenty of shade for wildlife to retreat from the bright sun.
