Join Golden Eagle Audubon for a lovely morning of spring birding at Lucky Peak State Park: Sandy Point and Discovery Units at the base of Lucky Peak Dam.

We will meet at Sandy Point Park and make our way to Discovery Park, birding along the way. You can expect to see orioles, flycatchers, chickadees, kingbirds, cormorants, raptors, wrens, swallows and more! We will be covering up to two miles at a relaxed pace on smooth paved and gravel surfaces.

This is an accessible and inclusive bird outing. All are welcome! Please use the special needs question in the registration form to let us know more about you. You are welcome to join us for all or part of the outing.
