W.K. Kellogg Bird Sanctuary staff and fellow bird enthusiasts gather on the fourth Thursday of each month through October to practice identification skills by sight and sound on a walk through the Sanctuary.
All walks run from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Participants in the guided walks will meet at the Resource Center building, then walk down to Wintergreen Lake to look for birds of the season.
Summer and fall dates are:
August 27
September 24
October 22
The cost of attendance for Sanctuary members is $6 for adults, $5 for seniors and students, and $4 for children ages 2-17. For non-members, admission is $8 for adults, $7 for seniors and students, and $6 for children ages 2-17. Though the program is geared toward adults, avid junior birders are also welcome.
