Markham Arboretum

Monday, November 3, 8 AM - 10:30 PM

Markham Arboretum is a small island of riparian habitat in the middle of suburban Concord that attracts many winter visitors such as Northern Flickers, Yellow-rumped Warblers, and Hermit Thrushes. This is a great walk for beginner birders who want to get to know CoCo County’s winter woodland birds.

We’ll be walking the unpaved trail that goes alongside a small creek and garden.
