Sat, May 9: Make it Count for the Birds
Our annual birdwatching marathon. Join one or more of our organized hikes as we raise funds in support of our land restoration activities, and discover how many bird species can be found in the Glen in one day.

5:30am: Dawn Chorus along the Little Miami
Greet the dawn and hear the forest awaken with song. Meet at Grinnell Mill, 3536 Bryan Park Rd, Yellow Springs, OH 45387

8:30am: Woodland Bird Walk
We expect fifty species or more on this two-hour hike. Meet at Trailside Museum.

8:30am: Pine Forest Walk
Migratory songbirds, with occasional sightings of unusual finds like
the pine warbler. Horace Mann Meadow, Bryan Park Rd.

12pm: Tally Rally
Birders share what they’ve found (and what they’ve missed). Nosh on complimentary snacks. Meet at Trailside Museum.
