Urban Birding: Downtown Kalamazoo
Advertisement
Whether you're in a forest, at the beach, or in the city, you can go birding! This bird hike will show you that no matter your surroundings, there's always a feathered friend nearby, and thus, an opportunity to observe and be curious.
You’re invited on an Urban Bird Hike around downtown Kalamazoo! Join experienced birder Seth Chapman as we hike along a segment of the Kalamazoo River Valley Trail (KRVT) and discover which birds have adapted to urban sprawl. You might be surprised at the variety of species that call downtown Kalamazoo their home; and even more surprised to learn that certain species thrive in this environment.
We will begin our hike at Upjohn Park, meeting in the parking lot off of Walter Street, adjacent to the farmer's market. You can make a morning of it by heading to the farmer's market before or after our hike!
Come to spend time in community, sharpen your identification skills, build your life list, and expand your bird knowledge. All skill levels are welcome. There will also be complementary chai.
Registration covers one adult, and individual registrations are not shareable between two or more individuals. Birders 10 and under are welcome to attend free of charge. This hike will take place rain or shine.
Please bring a pair of binoculars, and a travel mug for complementary chai.
Hike length: 2 mi, easy difficulty
This event requires registration. To register please visit www.birdswithseth.com/events
