ABOUT
Description: Come walk with Ranger Rachel and Birds Georgia to see what owls and other nocturnal life are active at EMBARC Youth Farm. All levels of birders are welcome. Binoculars and comfortable footwear are recommended.
What to expect: We will gather at the picnic tables in the garden and walk the perimeter of the park looking for owls and nightlife in this transitional area. Our route then takes us along some low areas and wetlands where we'll continue birding. At the end, we'll recap all the bird species we've observed. Birds Georgia will provide instruction on binocular skills and bird identification by sight and sound. The full program lasts 2 hours.
Program leader: Your guide will be Ranger Rachel Roberts and Sheridon Alford from Birds Georgia
Where to meet: Find Ranger Rachel in the garden at the park (1185 Rock Chapel Rd. 30058).
What to bring: Wear comfortable footwear, dress for the weather, and bring a refillable water bottle.
Recommended ages: This program content is designed for adults and older children, but all ages are welcome.
Weather contingency: This program will be canceled if there is rain or other inclement weather.
Walking distance: 2 miles
Exposure: This walk is mostly under shaded tree canopy, but since it is an evening hike, the weather should be cooler. We suggest wearing layers.
