March is the best time to visit the Great Blue Heron rookery and hand feed the birds at Kensington Metropark.
About this Event

Join Detroit Bird Alliance leaders Esha Biswas and Jim Mahon at Kensington Metropark for an amazing morning of birding. March is the time that Great Blue Herons start nesting and mating high up in the trees at Wildwing Lake.

March is also when birds are extra hungry and are getting more active, so it's the best time to hand feed. Visitors to Kensington can hand feed wild birds (Black-capped Chickadee, Tufted Titmouse, White-breasted Nuthatch, Downy Woodpecker, and possibly others.) We will provide the bird seed! This is a great opportunity for up-close observation and photos.

You will walk about a mile or so on the nature trails. The nature trails at Kensington offer great opportunities to see nature, so stay and enjoy the rest of your day.

Meeting Location: Kensington Metropark Nature Center

Note: Entrance to the park requires an entrance fee or an annual metropark pass.
