North Star Birding: Breeding Birds

Nesting activity of herons, raptors, waterfowl, wetland birds, and songbirds is well-underway in the rich habitats of North Star Nature Preserve at this time of summer. We will learn about nesting requirements, foraging, and hatchlings for the bird species we encounter, and observe their breeding season behaviors. Join us for this birding outing that will focus on local nesting birds in the quiet, expansive setting of North Star where the river and wetlands make this location especially important for breeding activities. This class requires advance registration to ensure appropriate planning for the field experience. This class meets at the Main North Star parking lot, 1.65 miles from the intersection of Main/Hwy 82 and Original Street (wildlife viewing platform parking lot). There are no restroom facilities at this location.
