Spring into Birding

Spring is in the air; this is prime time for bird watching! The trees haven't yet grown their new set of leaves, making the birds more visible when perching on branches. Some winter migrants may still be visiting from far up north, while others are year-round residents. Perhaps we'll even see some colorful new arrivals from Central or South America. Take a guided walk with a ranger alongside meadow and forest to find out who is out and about.

Bring binoculars if you have them. If not, we do have a few pairs of binoculars that can be borrowed. See attached file for a bird checklist to print at home. The walk will be up to one mile depending on the abilities of the group. We will move at an easy pace on moderate terrain. The trail can be muddy at times, so please wear comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting dirty.

Register here to let us know you're coming. While not required for this program, it is recommended! If you register, we will be able to contact you if the program is cancelled due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
