About the event
This field trip is designed for folks new to birding and is family-friendly. We will explore the wonderful Cherokee Marsh North Unit, enjoying the sights and sounds of late winter. We will share bird ID and talk about how to tell that bird species apart from others. This is a low-key, slow paced, no-pressure outing for beginners. RSVP REQUIRED. Participation is capped at 15 people. Registration will open 6 weeks in advance on the Monday of that week.
We will meet at the Cherokee Marsh North lot and trailhead at the end of N Sherman Ave (43°10'01.8"N 89°21'52.1"W). This incredible spot has a variety of habitats and trails, so we will decide together which we’d like to explore! Together, we'll look and listen for birds, focusing on tips for identification.
