Bird Walk

The Lake Erie shoreline is a renowned location for viewing all kinds of birds, attracting birdwatchers from all around the country, especially during the spring and fall migrations. Join local birding experts, Martyn and Morgan Drabik-Hamshare, to learn why the region is so important. Hike around the trails and parks of Lakeside to find and identify birds, and learn interesting facts along the way. Some of the species you may expect to see while on the hike include Bald Eagles, Baltimore Orioles, and Northern Cardinals. If we’re lucky, we may also find Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, Purple Martins, and any of the 40 species of neotropic warblers that migrate through the region.

Meet at the Train Station Pavilion at 4 p.m. Please bring a pair of binoculars (a small number will be available to borrow). Suitable footwear should be worn for this walk. Appropriate clothing should be selected based on weather conditions of the day.
