Join COS for a family-friendly bird activity! This event includes a walk around the natural areas where our guides will help you look and listen for birds. We’ll have youth sized loaner binoculars available. We will also have a bird-themed art project inside. 

We will be walking on compacted gravel paths which are suitable for strollers and walking shoes are recommended. It’s summer so be prepared with sunscreen, insect repellant, and plenty of water. You are welcome to bring your own snacks. Restrooms are available in the Nature Center.

This event is perfect for kids between 4 and 10 years old, but families with kids outside of this age range are welcome. Whether you are already a family of bird watchers or if you are interested in nature and want to learn more about birds, please come and enjoy this fun event!

Leaders: Jake Vinsel, Christina Harber, Edward Warden, and Larry Krutulis

Accessibility:

Total trip distance is approximately 0.5 miles and will take place mostly on crushed-gravel trails that are relatively level and suitable for strollers. We may leave the trail at times to walk through the grass for a better view of the birds. Any recent rain may create muddy conditions.

Restrooms are available at the nature center from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Weather/Attire/Other:

Comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Please bring bottled water. Dress for the weather. Based on the forecast, you may want to bring a hat and sunscreen. Loaner binoculars will be available.

The exact meeting location will be emailed in advance to registrants. Free parking is available in the Nature Center's parking lot. The park is also accessible by 84 (Peterson) and 53 (Pulaski) bus, but the Nature Center may be a long walk from the bus stop for children.
