Description
Nature is awake from a long winter and the birds are returning. Join the park naturalist for a walk around the Mississippi Headwaters as we listen and look for returning birds. Learn how Itasca's forests and lakes are perfect home for birds of all shapes and sizes. Program is geared towards beginning birders. Bring binoculars and a field guide if you have them. Hike will include the area around the Headwaters, picnic grounds and nearby trails.
Spring conditions can be muddy, wet, and even snowy. We will hike in our boots. Dress warmly and come prepared for the weather conditions.
