Early Morning Summer Birding

Description

Wake up with a stroll through forests, fields and wetlands in search of birds as they begin their day's activities. Adults and juveniles of many species including colorful wood-warblers, orioles, thrushes, and more are possible for us to see this time of year.

This beginner-friendly 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. This program is offered at a variety of locations. 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

Meet in front of the red barn at Pleasant Valley on the side facing the wide gravel path.

Dress to be comfortable in the predicted weather, including footwear that can potentially get wet or muddy depending on recent weather. Bring your own binoculars or borrow a loaner pair from us.

Distance covered during the bird walk could vary significantly depending on the number of birds we see. We are likely to remain on Pleasant Valley's All Persons Trail, which is 0.8 miles out-and-back and surfaced with crushed stone.
