The program consists of a birding activity in the prairie, a short talk about the importance of the conservation of natural resources and the protection of our birds, and a bilingual tour through our site.

Birding Focus: Discover the urban bird habitat at Blue Heron Nature Preserve, the home base for Atlanta Audubon Society. The focus will be migratory species and year-round residents including songbirds, woodpeckers, and waterfowl.

This is an excellent field trip for beginning birders. Families are welcomed. Binoculars will be available on site to borrow.

Birding Focus: We will look for seasonal migrants and resident species. Morningside Nature Preserve is a 33-acre preserve easily accessible from I-85 near Cheshire Bridge Road. The preserve straddles South Fork Peachtree Creek and provides good habitat for both shrubland birds in its power corridor as well as woodland species along the trails.

The duration of the walk will be three hours with about two to three miles of walking, including a steep hill and a few flights of stairs. Note: There are no bathrooms on our route so go easy on the coffee.
