Bird Walk at Braley Pond

Date:  Saturday, May 14, 2022
Time:  8:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
Place:  Braley Pond Day Use Area (directions)

Leader:  Lynne Parks 

Join us for a hike (2-3 miles) in the Braley Pond Day Use Area to see and hear returned migrants settling into breeding habitat as well as year-round residents. Birds will be identified by sight and song. We can expect to see about thirty species including flycatchers, vireos, warblers, and more. We’ll walk around the pond but also along the trail as it follows Johnson Draft. The entrance road might have some good birds too. Varied habitats include stream, meadow, and forest. The trail is level and easy.  Birders of all levels and ages are welcome.  
​

The trip will be led by Lynne Parks, a long-time birder, conservationist, and member of the Augusta Bird Club. Lynne has led many walks with her previous bird club as outreach coordinator. She loves this beautiful and biodiverse area. 

Bring binoculars, water, and a snack, and wear sturdy shoes.

Questions:  Contact Lynne Parks [email protected] or phone:  443-416-6180.

Registration: Required

Limit: 15 people
