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.
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.

Instructions
This program is completely outdoors. Meet in front of the red barn at Pleasant Valley. Your guide will be available to welcome any early arrivals 15 minutes before your program's start time.
The trail distance covered could vary depending on how many birds we see. While most of the walk will take place on a wide, gravel-paved trail, we might extend the route into an unsurfaced trail that may contain exposed tree roots or rocks.
