It’s time for the snowbirds to head back north as southern climates start to heat up! We are going to go out for a relaxing morning bird hike in honor of World Migratory Bird Day. This day is celebrated on the second Saturday of May each year as birds travel to nesting sites. Learn about the species that are migrating through our area while listening and looking for our feathered friends. This program is for all birding skill levels.
Fee: Free!
Age: Ages 16 and older.
Registration required by Thursday, May 7, by calling 708-946-2216 or online: https://anc.apm.activecommunities.com/fpdwc/activity/search/detail/10019?onlineSiteId=0&from_original_cui=true
The hike will be up to 1.5 miles on natural surfaces across uneven terrain. Plum Creek Nature Center is an accessible facility. Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service to participate in this program should submit a request online (https://www.reconnectwithnature.org/americans-with-disabilities-act-information/request-accommodation-inclusion-service/) no later than 48 hours before the program.
