A multitude of birds fly through this area during the spring & fall and many more are resident for some portion of the year. Join a Park Naturalist on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month and lend a watchful eye to help create a list of all the different types of birds that migrate through and stay in Allen County. All skill levels are welcome; it’s a great way to learn about birds or become a better birder. Participants will count all observable birds. Hiking distances and times will vary. Please be prepared for weather, ground conditions, and at least 1½ – 2½ hours on the trails. Children under the age of 16 should be accompanied by an adult.
