Suggest items to bring: binoculars, camera, field guide. We'll have a couple extra pairs of binoculars and field guides for folks to use. You may also want to consider wearing waterproof shoes or boots.  The terrain is mostly gravel (but can sometimes be muddy) at the beginning and then we'll be on a boardwalk for a majority of the trip. 

Beanblossom Bottoms Nature Preserve, managed by Sycamore Land Trust, is an ideal habitat for a number of woodpeckers, bald eagles, prothonotary warblers, and many more species.
