Summer Birding

It is that time of year when we slide into summer. Migration has pretty much completed, and we are left with our resident and breeding birds. For me, this is a great time either to narrow my focus to a laser-sharp view or to completely widen it, opening myself up to seeing things I do not usually pay as much attention to.

Guided Bird Walk: at Lake Elberta Park with William Heinle

Register via Mobilize.

Lake Elberta has reopened! September is part of fall migration and that means it's time to say goodbye to some of our summer residents, and hopefully find species on route to their wintering grounds. Lake Elberta is a productive location for migrant shorebirds and songbirds, and has historically been a good location for rarity searching.
