Join us in exploring the Urban Ecology Center of Washington Park as part of the Brew City Birding Festival, a great place to enjoy nature and look for migrating songbirds.
What to Expect
As always, birders of all skill levels are welcome and we have child- and adult-sized binoculars available for those who’d like to borrow a pair!
We’ll meet at the Urban Ecology Center at Washington Park. We’ll gather at 4:30 at the entrance of the center and take a tour of the newly renovated building. Check out the library with a scope and other bird resources available. We’ll head out into the park at 5:30 to find warblers and other spring migrants. We’ll be walking along mostly flat paved trails and grassy areas. We’ll also be climbing steps to get a vantage point from the lookout tower. We’ll see what we can find in the scrubby areas of the park as well as in and around the pond.
Additional Events
The Urban Ecology Center also announces the following and invites the BIPOC Birding Club members to join:
Bilingual Bird Walk on Weds May 14th at 8am - Join a group of Spanish-speaking folks as we go around looking for birds. Beginner friendly.
Throughout the Brew City Birding Festival dates of May 13-19, come see Florida-based artist Delia Miller work on a crane mural right outside of our UEC-Menomonee Valley branch! This mural is thanks to a collaboration with the International Crane Foundation. More details about the time Delia will be working on the mural will be shared closer to the dates.
