Members of the campus community are invited to enjoy a one-hour early-morning urban bird-watching tour in Buffalo State University’s beautiful Maud Gordon Holmes Arboretum on Friday, April 21, or Friday, April 28, beginning at 8:00 a.m. Participants will see some of the common and not-so-common bird species that either reside on or visit our campus.

KimMarie Markel, academic affairs staff associate and birding enthusiast, will lead these walks, showing the diversity of birds in an urban setting and demonstrating that bird-watching can be done throughout the city, including on Buffalo State University’s tree-filled campus.

Please email Steven Sypniewski, arboretum manager, to register, indicating interest in either the April 21 or the April 28 tour. Groups will be limited to 12 people per tour. Registrants, please meet Ms. Markel at 8:00 a.m. on your tour day near the lion statues on the southwest corner of Rockwell Hall; dress for the weather, wear comfortable footwear, and bring binoculars if you have them.

These tours are part of a series of April events sponsored by the Buffalo State University Sustainability Committee in celebration of Earth Day and Arbor Day.
