We’re sorry, this field trip is canceled due to concerns around COVID-19.
However, the field trip leaders, Kristin Brunk and Ashley Olah, put together a wonderful resource for how to recreate this field trip on your own — including a bird list!
Please note that the UW Arboretum is a wonderful natural area, but has seen high volumes of visitors. We ask you to continue to observe social distancing procedures and avoid crowded areas.
This morning trip is especially for backyard birders looking to grow their skills! Come to have your bird questions answered and get help identifying all of those small streaky brown birds, and other early spring migrants. The walk will be on even trails at a leisurely pace so bring the whole family! We will have binoculars for loan.
