The Fall Birdwatch Series is a guided morning nature walk focused on identifying local and migrating birds in their natural habitat. This event is best suited for elementary-aged children and older who can manage quiet observation. While the source listing has conflicting fee information, expect a small fee up to six dollars for non-residents, so bring cash just in case. The paved trails at Sandy Creek Park are stroller-friendly, and you should bring binoculars if you have them, along with water and bug spray. It makes a peaceful weekend start because the park features a lovely boardwalk and a paved loop that keeps little feet out of the mud while you explore.
