About this event

  • 2 hours

Did you know 320 species of birds have been recorded in and around Burden, including common species, such as northern mockingbirds and ruby-throated hummingbirds, seven different woodpeckers, waterfowl and wading birds, and a variety of resident migratory songbirds??

Grab your birding gear and join us bright and early to catch a glimpse of some of these species on a two-hour guided tour led by different birding specialists through the birding loops at Burden. The capacity for each group is limited to 15 guests.

If you are unable to attend, please give at least 48 hours' notice. Failure to do so multiple times will result in barring from future birding excursions.

Participants will meet their guide at the Rural Life Museum to begin their excursion.

Participants might want to bring binoculars, a cell phone, birding apps and/or Field Guides, sunscreen, insect repellant, appropriate outdoor footwear, weather-appropriate clothing and layers, and water to stay hydrated!
