Bird Walks and Field Trips

2024 Guided Bird Walks and Field Trips

Spring Bird Walk at the Hinsdale Setbacks

Saturday, April 20th, 2024 - 7:30 AM - 10:00 AM (ending time variable depending on the birding)

Join SVAS for our annual series of spring walks along the Hinsdale Setbacks. Walks meet in the North parking lot, located across the street and just South of the Hinsdale Campground. We'll walk the rail trail in search of spring migrants. We typically see different species each week as migration produces fresh arrivals every spring morning. The rail trail is level and suitable for all physical ability levels, and this birding walk is suitable for all levels of birders (including beginners). No registration needed, just show up. Bring binoculars if you have them. Guides will often have scopes as well.
