Autumn Bird Migration Hike

Autumn migration season offers unique birding opportunities as North American birds travel across the continent towards their wintering grounds. The Center’s diverse habitat types and location along Lake Michigan make it a stopover hotspot for many species passing through our area. We will discuss which bird species stopover only during migration, which are heading south after nesting here, as well as which birds may be arriving to overwinter here. Learn strategies for how to identify different groups of birds in their fall plumage.

This hike will be led by Adult Programs Coordinator and WI Master Naturalist Instructor – Michelle Allison, who has spent time birding at the Center for more than a decade. Bring your binoculars and we will meet near the bird feeders at the Visitor Center.
