Birding for Beginners

Canceled

Canceled due to heat advisory.

Fall migration brings warblers, shorebirds and the first waterfowl of the season through the Oxbow. This easy two-mile walk is built for people who are new to birding: we go slowly, share spotting scopes, and talk through how to identify what you are seeing.

Loaner binoculars are available. Meet at the main parking area ten minutes before the start.

What to bring

Binoculars, if you have them
Sturdy shoes for a muddy trail
Water and a warm layer
