Celebrate the annual return of the black-capped vireos, where you will get to hear more about them, the efforts to restore them on the refuge and hopefully get to see or hear a few as we walk. This guided walk is an excellent opportunity to learn about some of our most important residents of the Refuge! Who is this hike for? This walk is for both those who already love birding, and for those who are just learning! This is an excellent opportunity to learn and spend time with others who are passionate about birding. If you enjoy greeting the morning with a quiet hike through beautiful hills, this is a great time to do so! How difficult is this hike? This hike will be at a "birding pace" - meaning we will stop frequently to observe or listen for birds. We will hike only a short distance. Time: This walk will be approximately 2 hours, depending on the birds we see and where we look for them! Equipment: Bring your binoculars for observing birds, and some water for drinking. As always, wear appropriate shoes, bring plenty of water, bug spray, and sunscreen. Due to slippery rocks on the trail, hiking poles are also highly recommended. | |
