About this Event

Join Golden Eagle Audubon for our monthly beginner and family-friendly bird walk along the Bethine Church River Trail. This is a great opportunity to learn about riparian habitat as we focus on local birds, plants, and stewardship efforts in the area.

You can expect to see songbirds, waterfowl, woodpeckers, herons, and kingfishers on this trip.

This monthly bird walk is targeted towards beginner birders, so if you are brand-new to birding, this is the outing for you! We will cover basics like adjusting your binoculars, how to use field guides, and tips & tricks to identifying birds.

Recently reported species can be seen here: https://ebird.org/hotspot/L1152594
