Birds are quieter during summer, but that doesn't mean they're gone. Join Docent Naturalists Melissa Hero, Nick Yatsko, and Chris MacIntosh to look and listen for resident songbirds, woodpeckers, raptors, and hummingbirds, as well as for migrants who remain in their spring breeding area to molt during summertime to prepare for migration. You’ll take a leisurely-paced hike along the Grasshopper Loop Trail and out and back to a pond. Please bring binoculars if you have them.
