We’re sorry, this field trip is now full. Scroll down to join the waiting list.

This morning trip is especially for backyard birders looking to grow their skills! We will explore Cherokee Marsh-North Unit. Come to have your bird questions answered and get help identifying all of those small, streaky brown birds and distant ducks. We'll also be keeping our eyes out for any exciting fall migrants. The walk will be on even trails at a leisurely pace so bring the whole family! We will have binoculars for loan.
