Field Trip to Scatter Creek WMA
March 26, 2022 @ 9:00 am-12:00 pm
Saturday, March 26, 2022, 9 AM to noon
Leader: Grace Thornton
Description and Targets: This will be a beginner-friendly outing. We will be looking for winter songbirds and early spring migrants.
Trail information:
The walk is through a mix of prairie and woods with some riparian habitat along Scatter Creek. There is a pit toilet in the parking lot.
The trail is well defined and has mild ups and downs.
Directions: Meet at the Scatter Creek WMA at 180th SW and Guava St. SW
Other information:
A Discover Pass is required for parking. The trail is not wheel-chair accessible.
Bring: Binoculars and a field guide if you want one. Merlin Bird ID is a great phone app for identifying birds. I also suggest a hands-free pack for water, snacks, and personal items.
Dress for the conditions and for a slow walking pace; dull natural fabrics are more bird-friendly than bright synthetics. Layers are your friend!
