Come walk with Ranger Rachel and Birds Georgia to see what owls and other nocturnal life are active at EMBARC Youth Farm. All levels of birders are welcome. Binoculars and comfortable footwear are recommended.

We will gather at the picnic tables in the garden and walk the perimeter of the park looking for owls and nightlife in this transitional area. Our route then takes us along some low areas and wetlands where we’ll continue birding. At the end, we’ll recap all the bird species we’ve observed. Birds Georgia will provide instruction on binocular skills and bird identification by sight and sound. The full program lasts 2 hours.

Program leader: Your guide will be Ranger Rachel Roberts and Sheridon Alford from Birds Georgia
