Cost: Free
Features: I invite you to join me on a bird/nature walk on the Peabody Creek trail. It’s a 5.2 mile round trip, up Peabody Creek and back. I won’t make any promises about what birds will be present, probably the usual suspects such as ravens, Steller’s Jays, flickers, juncos, and Song Sparrows. Migrants are moving around though. I saw a Wilson’s Warbler last week, and more Black-headed Grosbeaks have been to my feeders recently, as well as buckets of Pine Siskins. We will be stopping for plants, chipmunks, salamanders, and snakes as well as birds, so get your naturalist hat on.
Special requirements: Wear shoes with good tread; the trail can be a little slippery.
