November is a busy month at LBL, as the white-tailed deer rut peaks, and bird and waterfowl migration increases. Hikes along Hematite and Honker Lakes may offer views of Ring-necked Ducks, Hooded Mergansers, Common Goldeneye, and a number of other migratory waterfowl. Bald eagles also begin arriving from the north to spend the winter. Check quota deer hunt dates to avoid being in the field during hunts with firearms. Participants with and without boats are encouraged to come out and help clean up our 300 miles of beautiful, undeveloped shoreline.
Volunteers can work at sites accessbile by boat or car.
