Happy New Year! It’s tradition! What will your first birds be for 2026?

Celebrate the new year with some first-of-year (FOY) birds!
Let’s start the new year with the Sandhill Cranes–we will enjoy these magnificent birds as they fly in from their overnight roost into their very own fields to fuel up. We can learn about the cranes and the land put aside for their use before we check the river and walk the dike trail and the north trail. We will be looking for the assortment of wintering birds in the habitats available in this park.

Dress for the weather! Remember the winds off the river can be quite bitter. Waterproof boots are recommended for areas where we may walk through wet grass.

This walk will be weather-dependent! Please contact Cindy if you plan to join the walk and watch your email or check the website if extreme weather is expected on that day. Meet at the south-central parking lot, near the south restrooms and beach volleyball courts.

(Frenchman’s Bar Regional Park does require a parking fee or county park parking pass).
