Old Rag Master Naturalists and Madison County Parks and Recreation will be hosting a Fall bird walk along the Oak Trail at Hoover Ridge Park on October 18th!Hoover Ridge Park is one of the largest outdoor recreational areas in Madison County. It encompasses almost 182 acres. Once you turn on to the road for Hoover Ridge Park, follow it around until you get to Camp Crockett.
The Bird Walk will begin at 9:00 am at the Camp Crockett Pavilion.
We will follow the Oak Trail (red trail markers) approximately one mile through the woods looking and listening for birds.
Participants should wear comfortable shoes/boots. A walking stick may be helpful and bring a hat and binoculars if you have them. We recommend you load the App "Merlin" onto your phone so you can use that to help identify some of the more “secretive” birds at Hoover Ridge.
During our last bird walk at Hoover Ridge, we saw 25 species of birds including: Bluebirds, Nuthatches, Chickadees, Cardinals, Titmice, Red Bellied Woodpeckers, Blue Jays and Ravens.
A port-a-potty is located at our starting point.
This is a free event, but participants must register online at https://campscui.active.com/orgs/MadisonParksandRecreation?orglink=camps-registration under Fall 2025 Programs.
Trip leaders: Alan Edmunds, President ORMN
