Event details

Migration has wound down, and nesting is going strong. Summer days warm fast, so getting out early can offer a better chance to find active birds. Birds found this time of year are likely nesting and here for the rest of the summer.

Join this guided hike as we search for summer resident birds. You might be surprised to find out which birds nest in our area. Beginners are welcome and encouraged as this is a great way to gain birding knowledge.
