Whether you’re a seasoned birder or just getting started, this event is perfect for all levels of bird enthusiasts! This month we will be talking about all things bird migration.

On October 17th from 8:30 AM to 9:30 AMish, we’ll gather to observe the birds around Burdens Creek. It’s a wonderful opportunity to connect with nature, meet fellow bird lovers, and share tips and stories about the birds you spot. 

We’ll also be providing a light breakfast to fuel your morning. It’s a chance to enjoy a relaxing start to your Friday and connect with others who share your love of birds, plants and the outdoors. 

What to Bring: 

  • Binoculars (if you have them) 
  • Comfortable footwear and clothing

Whether you’re spotting your first robin or identifying native plants in Burdens Creek, Birds & Breakfast is a peaceful way to start your day. All ages and skill levels are welcome—come for the birds, stay for the company! 

If the weather does not cooperate on October 17th, we will move the event to Monday, October 20th. Same time, same place.
