Registrants will receive detailed directions to the meeting site

Based upon Saturday's weather forecast we've made the decision to cancel this bird hike. Rainy days make for very poor birding. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for understanding.

Take a morning stroll through Riverside Park while enjoying a birding tour lead by FMR staff. Riverside Park is a nature study area intended to be left in a natural state providing much-needed habitat and resources. We hope to spot a variety of birds, including warblers making their way through the Mississippi River flyway during their spring migration. 

Birders of all levels are welcome! We will provide a few pairs of binoculars to share but if you have your own please bring them.
