June Bird Walks
Get outside with us this month! We’re hosting guided bird walks for different schedules, interests, and experience levels. Everyone is welcome. To help as many people as possible participate, we kindly ask that you register for only one walk.
Bird Walk: Fletcher Wildlife Garden
📅 Date: Sunday, June 14
⏰ Time: 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM
📍 Location: Fletcher Wildlife Garden
Join Daniel Shaw and David O’Neill for a morning walk at Fletcher Wildlife Garden!
Migration is winding down, but nesting season is in full swing. That means lots of bird activity, singing males, busy parents, and maybe even a glimpse of young birds that have recently left the nest.
We’ll explore a variety of habitats, including the butterfly garden, wooded areas, open meadow, and pond. With so much variety, we’ll be listening and looking for songbirds, woodpeckers, sparrows, finches, and other birds that call Fletcher home for the summer.
Early Morning Weekday Bird Walk: Watts Creek Pathway
📅 Date: Wednesday, June 24
⏰ Time: 7:00 AM - 9:00 AM
📍 Location: Watts Creek Pathway
🐦🌅 You know what they say... the early bird gets the worm, and the early birder sees more birds!
Start your day with an early morning bird walk and catch the final moments of the dawn chorus. This is one of the best times of day to experience the bird world as songbirds fill the air with their calls and activity.
Join Daniel Shaw and David O’Neill as we sharpen our listening skills, learn to recognize bird songs, and discover who’s singing from the treetops, shrubs, and wetlands around us. Whether you're new to birding or looking to build confidence identifying birds by ear, this walk is a great opportunity to tune in to nature.
