Join us for a special Saturday morning bird walk on World Migratory Bird Day in the Hyde Park neighborhood’s Washington Park!
Washington Park: Designed by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, Washington Park contains 35.7 acres of prairie, wetlands and lagoons. Its many habitat types attract a wide variety of bird species.
Meeting Spot: The group will meet at the Fountain of Time, located on the southeast corner of Washington Park. There is plentiful street parking nearby on Payne Drive.
Accessibility: We will travel ~2 miles on unpaved and paved trails (mostly flat). There are benches along the path. The natural areas are distant from traffic & noises and do not experience high crowd volume.
Trip Leaders: Jackie Smith (Washington Park land steward), Lilli Holden (2024 Black Birders’ Week organizer), and Sunshine Soledá de Vries (CBA VP)
Limit: Registration is required.
