About this event

Event lasts 3 hours

The second in a series of birding tours on the Swaner Preserve in 2025! Legendary Utah birder, Kenny Frisch, will guide us on an early morning excursion to view and identify resident and migratory feathered friends on the Preserve.

We will provide binoculars for each attendee, or bring your own if you have a pair you prefer. Birders will meet at the EcoCenter and then carpool to the Swaner boundary to access the wetland ponds. Please be sure to wear hiking shoes or boots that can get wet, and be prepared for uneven soggy ground. Muck boots are available to borrow from the EcoCenter.

Registration is required to attend, and spots fill fast! Tickets are $20 for non-members, $10 for members. Membership status of registrants will be reviewed before the event.
