Back by popular-ish demand, join COS for its Second Annual Birdsgiving Stroll!

We'll take our time exploring a portion of the park as we discover what bird offerings are in store for us. From soaring raptors to late migrants to resident winter birds, we're sure to find some feathery fauna to enjoy!

People of all experience levels are welcome, including folks who have never birded before.

Leader: Chris Holden

Pre-registration is required. Please contact Chris Holden (twoheadedvireo@gmail.com) at least 24 hours in advance if you cannot attend or with questions.

Accessibility:

Total trip distance is approximately 1 miles and will take place mostly on wide paved, crushed-gravel, or wood-chip trails that are relatively level with minimal incline. We may leave the trail at times to walk through the grass for a better view of the birds. Any recent rain may create muddy conditions.

Restrooms are unavailable at the time of the trip.

Weather/Attire/Other:

Comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Please bring bottled water. Dress for the weather. Based on the forecast, you may want to bring a heavy coat, hat, and gloves. Loaner binoculars will be available.

The exact meeting location will be emailed in advance to registrants. Free parking is available at the Humboldt Park Boat House: 1301 N Humboldt Dr.  The park is also accessible by public transit via the following bus routes: 94 and 70.

Respiratory Illness Precautions:

COS supports the decision of individual trip participants to wear a mask.
