Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge has a rich and varied landscape with many birds to see in in the spring. Check it out here.

We have binoculars to loan but bring your own if you have them. Wear good walking shoes and bring an identification app (download here) or field guide, if you have one.

All bird walks will start at the Headquarters building parking lot. We will walk the Stubblefield Trail and hook up with the Pine Lakes Loop Trail. This walk takes about 2 or 3 hours, but you are welcome to leave early.

Maximum of 10 participants. Contact Joe Cooney via email (jcooney805@gmail.com) or phone (509-951-3179) to sign up.
