Winter Bird Walk
Location
About
8:00 am
Suitable for tweens, teens, and adults.
Should I stay or should I go? Many birds leave the Pine Bush for the cold winter months and fly south. Others stay year-round, through sun and rain, sleet and snow. In this program, we’ll walk approximately two miles over rolling sand dunes through the Pine Bush and explore what birds are active here in winter and what resources they rely on to make it through this challenging time of year. Working together, we’ll compile a list of the birds we encounter to submit an eBird checklist for the day. Binoculars will be provided if needed.
The program meets at Truax Trail Barrens, Trailhead #12.
