Event Details

Celebrate World Migratory Bird Day with a Ranger at the Collins River Nature Trail for a 1.5-mile birding loop along the Collins River Nature trail and returns through the Collins River Prairie. All the sightings will be documented with ebird (so have your ebird ID handy if you would like to be added to the list). This area typically has a diverse mixture of woodland and grassland species with the potential for aquatic species flyovers. What better way to celebrate migratory bird day than touring an area that has on the highest diversity of species on the park?
