2023 Evening Bird Walks

Gray Catbird by Michelle Brosius

Perhaps you need a nice walk to wind down from the day, or maybe you’re not an early riser for morning bird walks. If so, then these evening walks could be perfect! Evening is a great time to look and listen for birds as they begin to settle for the night … or for some species, just beginning to be active. No matter what, these evening walks are a nice way to observe birds and the beauty of nature at a different time of the day. Walks take place on the third Wednesday of each month at 6:00 PM. Below is the list of walk locations.
