Field Trip: Sweet Springs Birding for Beginners
Date: Feb. 28, 2026
Time: 9:00am to 11:30am
Leader(s): Grace Hayes
Description: Audubon Sweet Springs Nature Preserve offers an ideal setting for birding, with two viewing platforms and meandering trails that provide panoramic views of the estuary, wetlands, and mudflats—prime habitat for a variety of shorebirds. The on-site pond attracts ducks, while the surrounding diverse vegetation supports many breeding and migratory bird species during the spring season. The walk covers approximately 1 mile on level boardwalks and dirt paths.
A restroom (port-a-potty) is available at the East entrance. This field trip is not ADA accessible and the trip is open to all levels of experience.
