*** Please note the date has been changed to December 20th ***Join us for a full day of birding at Antioch Marsh in Spring Hill, KS, part of the Hillsdale Reservoir Wildlife Area.
We’ll begin at the South Marsh parking lot (google maps link posted below), accessible via a gravel road off 231st Street. After exploring the South Marsh, we’ll cross the road to the North Marsh—be prepared for some levee walking to reach the area. Next, we’ll travel to Browns Wetland, where a trail loops around the pond, and then drive to the Rock Creek Access Area, just around the corner. If time and energy allow, we’ll finish at the marina or park headquarters for additional birding opportunities.
Anticipated species include shorebirds, waterfowl, fall migrants, Ospreys, and other birds of prey. Expect to walk on dirt trails with mild rocks and roots, as well as some paved roads.
Please pack a lunch, as this will be an extended outing of 5+ hours. All experience levels are welcome—bring your own binoculars if possible; a few loaner pairs will be available.
