Guided Bird Walk

May 16 @ 8:00 am - 10:00 am

Enjoy a casual walk to see, listen, and learn about the Letort Spring Garden Preserve’s bird life. Mid-May is the peak of neotropical songbird migration and we’ll look for signs of breeding from both resident and migratory species. This 1.5 mile walk is on mostly flat gravel and grassy paths.

Dress for the weather and bring binoculars if you have them. The walk meets at the Letort Spring Garden Preserve parking lot on S. Spring Garden Road.

About our Guide: Perry Yingling is a local resident who is passionate about birding and bird conservation. He was recently awarded a grant from South Mountain Partnership to install 12 American Kestrel nest boxes in Cumberland County. Raptors are his favorite class of birds to encounter. Slowing down to observe the details of nature is the way he likes to relax. Biking and hiking are other “excuses” to get him outdoors. There is a good chance you will pass him on the trail at the Letort Garden preserve as that is one of his favorite places to encounter nature.
