Join Environmental Educator Nicole to explore what this popular birding location has to offer! We will be on the lookout for resident and wintering migrant birds, including White-tailed Kites, American Bittern, Green Heron, Pied-billed Grebe, and Common Yellowthroat.

This trip is open to all birding levels and ages and will be slow paced. We will be listening for birds as much as looking for them and keep an eBird list as we go. Beginning birders and young birders are encouraged to join. The trail is mostly flat and un-paved, and there are benches and bathrooms available.

Meeting Location: Meet in the parking lot of Mather Regional Park.
