Birding through the Months at Silverwood Park
March 17 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
This is the 2nd of a 4-trip Silverwood Park birding experience (February through May). Attend one or all the trips!
Silverwood Park is a beautiful urban park on the shores of Silver Lake. The park’s variety of habitats — oak forest, marsh, grassland, and lakefront — makes it a great birding destination, with over 180 species sighted there.
Birding at a single location over several months can be a great way to get started. This series of four field trips will repeat popular excursions from last year, giving participants the chance to get to know the park and watch for different birds each month as the seasons change. In addition to getting to know the birds of Silverwood, participants will also be introduced to basic birding techniques and tools, including digital resources. Participants are encouraged to bring their own binoculars; a few extra pairs will be available.
