The website also has amazing resources that can help you become a better and more responsible birder. 

Follow the simple directions below. Your registration requires your eBird user name on the form.

a. Go to ebird.org/home and click Create Account
b. Fill out the information requested
c. Start exploring eBird!

DESCRIPTION: We’ll bird the park’s trees and meadows looking for migrating songbirds, flycatchers, waterfowl and raptors.  The open space and power poles are good for raptors. Marshy areas can be productive for warblers, wrens, munias and the lake offers the usual suspects and perhaps a surprise.  The trail is flat and we will walk approximately 1.0-1.5 miles. 

ADA Accessible: Yes

Experience Level: Beginner to Intermediate
