Bird Watching Hike

Saturday, February 15
9:30 am
Location: Emergency Operations Center (EOC) off of Highway 53, please wait for a park ranger to open the gate

The Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) is celebrated every February and is an opportunity for everyone to be involved in the scientific process. You can count birds wherever you may be, or you can join a park ranger to count out on the trail. We'll learn about bird identification while enjoying a morning outdoors. Please dress in layers and bring water and snacks. Bring a pair of binoculars if possible, otherwise, some pairs will be available to borrow. We'll meet at the parking lot at the Emergency Operation Center (EOC) off of Highway 53. This location is normally gated and closed to the public, so please wait for a park ranger to let you in.

The Brazilian free-tailed bats have migrated south for the winter. See you next summer!
