Mount Burdell Bird Walk

Join guest leader Heather Cameron and Jack from Wild Birds Unlimited for a summer walk on Mount Burdell. We’ll be listening to the tail end of the birdsong season and looking for young birds from all the summer breeders, including potential Bullock’s orioles, lark and chipping sparrows, lazuli buntings, and various swallows and flycatchers. We’ll also enjoy the year-round attractions of Mount Burdell, including bluebirds, acorn woodpeckers, and the magnificent oak trees. To learn more about the birds of the preserve, check out our profile of Mount Burdell.
