When
April 22, 2023. 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Join us for our inaugural Earth Day Bird Count on the newly developed Ivanhoe Birding Trail. Bird surveys offer a way to learn about population trends; especially our neotropical migratory birds that travel thousands of miles each spring from Latin America to their northern breeding grounds.
We welcome birders of all skill levels. Don’t forget your binoculars, wear close-toed shoes and bring water.
Participants will meet at the Ivanhoe Birding Trail at 8:00 am. The Birding Trail is a 1.2 mile walk (24 minutes) from the Ivanhoe Access Parking Area to the Ivanhoe Bridge. A State Park van will also be available to shuttle participants from the trailhead to the birding trail from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. Expect to hike about 1.5 miles on the birding trail.
