Georgia Audubon Society Field Trips: Murphey Candler Park
Look for monthly MCP walks

Upcoming Dates: Tues, November 15, 2022 - 8am
AAS Leader: Mary Kimberly
Cell contact morning of walk: 404.308.6279
Birding Focus: Four main habitats (lake, creek, wetlands, mixed woods, and ball fields) provide good species diversity. We will look for resident birds and wintering birds. We’ll check the lake for wintering waterfowl if lake levels permit. This walk is suitable for adults and children over 10 years of age. Please do not bring your dog. This site can be especially good for beginning birders. Binoculars are necessary; if you don’t own a pair, please let the leader know BEFORE November 13 and they will bring loaners. The path can be muddy and slippery in places, so wear appropriate footwear. Restrooms are available near the parking lot.
