About this Event

Please register to attend this trip. Make sure ALL fields are filled in and a confirmation email is received.

Join Golden Eagle Audubon for our monthly beginner and family-friendly bird walk along the Bethine Church River Trail. This is a great opportunity to learn about riparian habitat as we focus on local birds, plants, and stewardship efforts in the area.

Expect to see songbirds, waterfowl, woodpeckers, herons, and kingfishers.

This monthly bird walk is targeted towards beginner birders, so if you are brand-new to birding, this is the outing for you! We will cover basics like adjusting your binoculars, how to use field guides, and tips & tricks to identifying birds.

No public restrooms are available. We will travel between 1-2 miles on flat, unpaved trails. Binoculars are available to borrow if needed.

All levels, including beginners, are welcome. Participants younger than 12 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and participants younger than 18 must have a parent/guardian sign the liability release.

Time: 10am – 12pm. Please arrive 10 - 15 minutes early so we can start on time.

Library! at Bown Crossing

What to bring: Binoculars if you have them, layers for weather and anything else you need to be comfortable being outside for a couple of hours. No dogs please.

Restroom Availability: No public restrooms are available.

Special Conditions: If there is an unhealthy AQI or steady rain forecast, the trip will be cancelled.

Contact information: Please contact trip leader, Lorraine, at [email protected] with questions.
