Sun Sep 08 1:30 "Early Fall Migrants" Bird and Nature Adventure at Turville Point- Melissa Kesling Chuck Henrikson
1156 Olin-Turville Court, meet at the end of the Turville Point parking lot, bring water, no bathrooms on site
Join enthused Bird Guides Melissa Kesling and Chuck Henrikson to have fun looking for tiny warblers in the trees, brightly patterned ducks and geese on the lake, and other fall migratory birds getting an early jump on their travel south for the winter. Madison's lakes and urban natural areas provide an important migratory stopping point for birds to rest and refuel. Tiny Hummingbirds and other birds need to add up to a third to their body weight in order to fly nonstop across the Gulf of Mexico to South America! Enjoy the winding trails and beautiful views across the lake to downtown Madison.
