Join Rob Ripma, ABAS President and owner of Sabrewing Nature Tours, on a series of hikes around Eagle Creek Park in search of fall migrants. These hikes will focus on finding migrant warblers, vireos, and thrushes passing through during fall migration. We should find a different mix of migrants as we move through the month. This is a great time to come out and work on your fall plumage identification skills!

We will meet at 8:00am in the marina parking lot. Participants can expect the trip to end around 10:00am. This trip will entail walking on mostly paved surfaces, mowed grass areas, and well-maintained trails. Please contact Rob at robert.ripma@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Registration is not required but appreciated, and the event is open to everyone. Click here to register.
