About This Event
Our October bird walks will focus on the last of our neotropical migrants as they finish passing through the area as well as the arrival of the first of our winter residents. We’ll also be keeping an eye out for potential irruptive species. Join us as we discover what awaits us this fall!

Elk Creek Access
Additional Info
-
Registration Required. Each member of your party must register separately.
-
Meeting Point: Walks at Elk Creek Access meet in the parking lot near the covered shelter. We’ll bird from the paved parking lot and have access to the picnic shelter if needed. This is a good walk for those with limited mobility.
This location is right next to Erie Bluffs State Park. Approximate location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/DP8yNmpN3CYKnaTQA
For All Bird Walks:
-
Registration Required. Each member of your party must register separately.
-
Our birding is done at a slow pace, and usually over a short distance.
-
All walks run rain or shine unless weather conditions are too dangerous to safely be out or too poor for the birds to be out.
-
Dress for the weather. Layers are a good choice.
-
Wear comfortable footwear that you don’t mind possibly getting a little muddy.
-
Please make sure we have a way to contact you in case we need to make any changes; typically, emails are sent out the night before if any changes are required.
-
Look for the Erie Bird Observatory sign. Please arrive on time to your walk so we can get in as much birding as possible.
These walks are open to everyone, but limited to 10 participants. We kindly ask that if you enjoy your walk with Katie that you consider a donation so we may continue to offer events like this in the future.
