About the event

We’re at peak spring migration season for birds, with millions of birds flying north over North America each night as they travel from their wintering grounds to their breeding grounds. Some of these birds are just stopping by the park on their journey north, while others are staying here to nest. Visit this educational display to learn about the different birds we are seeing at the park this time of year, and pick up a brochure about our seasonal migrants! This self-guided table will be inside the A.E. Finley Center. FREE.
