Beginner Bird Walk

We will meet at the Burroughs Audubon Library (7300 NW Park Rd, Blue Springs MO 64015), with an introduction to winter bird watching, along with an explanation on the use of binoculars. They will provide binoculars for our use, for up to 18 people (if you have your own, bring them). Wear long pants, good trail shoes, and clothing appropriate for the weather forecast.

For our walk, we will go in our personal in vehicles to the nearby Lake Vista Trail, to look and listen for birds. This is an easy trail beside the nearby Blue Springs Lake. We will walk for an hour, returning to the parking area by the trail (on Liggett Road). Sweep leader is Janet Blauvelt.

As you learn about bird watching, you will also want to know more about bird conservation—efforts to protect the environment for them, and habitat that sustains them. The Audubon Library has many resources.
