SUMMARY:Rye Playland and Environs
DESCRIPTION:\nDate: Saturday, December 6, 2025\n\n\n\nLeaders: Tom Burke and Gail BensonCarpool Trip: Drivers willing to provide rides are encouraged to attend. The Registrar will work with participants without a vehicle to organize rides and share the suggested carpool fee for the driver. This usually works out, but we can not guarantee a ride without enough volunteer drivers.Meeting Point: After your registration is confirmed, the Registrar will share directions, the exact meeting place, and time with attendees.Schedule: Full-day with several stops. Please prepare for cold weather and strong winds.Relative Difficulty: Two to three miles of walking on mostly flat terrain with some mild inclines.Trip Description: Rye Playland, located on Long Island Sound in northeastern Westchester County, is about 30 miles from New York City. We will begin our walk at Playland Park & Read Sanctuary and move later to the Marshlands Conservancy; at both, the terrain is easy, and we’ll walk about a mile at each location. We typically have lunch at Marshlands and finish by walking to the marsh in the early afternoon. We will search for birds on Long Island Sound, Playland Lake, and Milton Harbor, as well as in the woods and fields at both locations.\n\n\n\nLeaders Tom Burke and Gail Benson will monitor recent sightings of rare birds in the region. If an exceptional rarity appears, the group might deviate from the standard itinerary to chase it. On past field trips, participants have been lucky to have seen a Calliope Hummingbird, a Gray Kingbird, a Fork-tailed Flycatcher, and a Hermit Warbler.\n\n\n\nPlease read T ( https://www.linnaeannewyork.org/wp-content/uploads/PDF/LSNY-COVID-19-Guidelines-2021-06-20.pdf )he Linnaean Society of New York COVID-19 Field Trip Guidelines ( https://www.linnaeannewyork.org/covid-19-field-trip-guidelines/ ) before registering.\n\n\n\nRegistration: Registration opens at 9 am on Monday, November 24.
