Hope you can join us to look for early warblers and other delightful spring arrivals. This diverse habitat is also home to six species of woodpeckers and a variety of year-round residents. The bird hike is on paved and natural surfaces (dirt trails). New birders are welcome!

We’ll meet at the second parking lot. After entering the Preserve from LaPorte Rd, drive to where the park roadway dead ends at the second parking lot.

The bird walk is free and open to everyone. However, PREREGISTRATION is required and groups are limited to 8 people per leader due to COVID-19 precautions. The number of leaders per trip field varies.
