Join us as we conduct a spring bird census along the Blue River. We'll search for migrant and year-round residents that use this riparian habitat. This census assists KC WildLands and their mission of preserving the natural communities around Kansas City. This census counts toward volunteer hours for Master Naturalists.
Your leader for this trip is Don Arney. Meet at 7:30 a.m. at the Minor Park tennis courts parking lot. We'll walk the hiking/biking trails along the Blue River, approx. 2 miles. Trail conditions can be very muddy, depending on precipitation and temperature. Watch this page for weather/cancellation updates, and feel welcome to contact Don at [email protected] with any questions.
