Calendar of Events

Please note that it is about a 1 hour drive from the Omaha area to the BOL dam. We will not be meeting up to caravan this trip since some of you may want to bird for a half day and others all day.

Larry Einemann of Lincoln will be meeting us in the morning and guiding us to where the best birding areas might be at that time in March. We hope to see a variety of water-dependent bird species such as ducks, geese, possible Common Loons, grebes, coots, pelicans, and gulls. There also are likely to be some early passerine migrants such as Eastern Phoebes, Yellow-rumped Warblers, and Kinglets. Raptors are also likely to be on the move by that date.

We will be on our own for lunch. The last couple of years we have stopped at a small café in Raymond for lunch.

Directions: There are several routes you can take to get there but here is probably the most direct if you are coming from Omaha: take I-80 to exit 401 - which is right on the north side of Lincoln – go north at the exit onto Hwy 34 for about 4 miles, then turn right onto Hwy 79 to W. Raymond Road where you turn left. Then drive 3 miles to where the road splits – take the right road which goes over the dam (these are all blacktop roads). Before you go over the dam, turn left into the parking lot and then down to the dam.
