Join us for a birding trip to Forest Hill Cemetery, a historic and scenic site nestled in the heart of Kansas City. This inner-city location is a major byway for migrating species, and we’ve been recording impressive numbers during migration periods.We’ll be watching for typical migrants along with Red-headed Woodpeckers, Great Horned Owls, Common Nighthawks, and other birds of prey. Participants can choose to walk through grassy areas, stay on the paved roads winding through the cemetery, or drive between stops.
Expect about three hours of birding, though you’re welcome to leave anytime. Both novice and experienced birders are encouraged to join—please bring your own binoculars if possible (a few extras will be available).
