Summer is a wonderful time of the year with birds fledging through the warmer months. With an abundance of food and cover, many young birds are around. Tree Swallows and Eastern Bluebirds use the birdhouses and Carolina Wren chicks scurry around the FENCE buildings looking for food. The summer bird walk will concentrate on those birds that breed on or around the FENCE property, listening to their songs and learning a little about their breeding biology. The public is invited to join in for this two-hour walk, but is advised to bring a hat and sunscreen.
This hike series is made possible by the Kirby Endowment at the Polk County Community Foundation.
