About this Event

Join trip leader Dan Barriball for a peak migration special extended bird walk! The group will leave from the Wilson Shelter lot at 8:00 am and head out on trail 2 and down the trail 2 boardwalk. We will return to Wilson Shelter on trail 10. The walk will be 3 miles long through mostly flat terrain and it will last until the early afternoon. Be prepared for muddy sections of trail and the possibility of mosquitoes. Trail 2 has some of the best migration birding in Indiana Dunes State Park for warblers and other spring migrants. Let's go and find them!
This walk is free and open to the public, but registration is required as capacity is limited. Click on tickets to register through Eventbrite.
