BirdsGA Field Trips
Look for monthly walks - Online REGISTRATION thru GA Audubon required
Saturday, Nov 23
Saturday, December 23
Field Trip Leader – Kevin O’Toole / 404-451-3092
REGISTER ONLINE – thru GA Birds link - https://www.birdsgeorgia.org/field-trips.html
Co-sponsors Murphey Candler Park Conservancy and Murphey Candler Park Neighborhood Association
Description:
Start time: 8 AM Ending time: Usually 10:30
RAIN OR SHINE! We will be able to find birds in light rain, for sure.
Birding Focus: Several habitats (lake, wetlands, mixed woods, and ball fields) provide good species diversity. In November and December, we'll look for late migrants and winter residents.
This walk is suitable for adults and children over 14 years of age. Please do not bring your dog.
This site can be especially good for beginning birders. Some of the trails are level, but there are several steep spots and a number of stretches where the surface is uneven from exposed tree roots, etc. Many parts of the trail are muddy and/or slippery after rains; plan your footwear accordingly. Restrooms are available at the SE and SW corners of the park, near the baseball fields.
Google Maps address - Meet at MCP Lake spillway
