Description
Learn tips to find and identify birds on their journey north during this casual, beginner-friendly walk. The site of each walk features a mix of habitats that make them ideal for spotting species that are arriving, passing through, or are year-round residents. Colorful wood-warblers, orioles, thrushes, and more are possible for us to see this time of year.
Our walk will focus on the basics of bird-finding and identification as well as observing the behavior of the birds we can see. We will pause and enjoy observing birds rather than focusing on maintaining an intensive list of every bird in the area.
Bring your own binoculars or borrow a loaner pair from us. For more information about the site and terrain for this program, see below.

Trail distance covered during the bird walk could vary significantly depending on how many birds we see. This program will cover up to 1.5 miles on a wide, unsurfaced trail. The trail surface is largely flat, but could be wet or muddy depending on recent weather.
Pre-registration is recommended. If the program is not full, a limited number of walk-ins can be accommodated with cash or check in exact change. Credit card payments are for pre-registrations only.
