SUMMARY:Fall Migration Bird Walk
DESCRIPTION:A great time of year to see our year-round residents\, and breeding birds like Great-crested Flycatcher. Some migrating birds have molted into their more cryptic fall plumage\, which makes identification a fun challenge! We might see a variety of warblers\, vireos\, and others. Bring your binoculars and dress for the weather. The walk is slow-paced\, and mostly stays on the road surface\, but sometimes does venture “off-trail” into the grass. All ages welcome. The tour will meet at the Eichelberger Plaza at the main gates of the cemetery. \nYour nature guide will be Amanda Lawson\, an Ohio Certified Volunteer Naturalist. \nAll tours require a reservation and there is a suggested $5 donation. All donations support the Woodland Arboretum Foundation which focuses on the restoration\, preservation\, horticultural and educational projects needed to keep Woodland a cultural resource for Dayton and Ohio.
