About the event
This walk will feature exploration of multiple hotspots around the Patapsco River's Middle Branch, including West Covington Park, Swann Park, and restored habitat along the Gwynns Falls Trail South in Ridgley's Cove (behind the Horseshoe Casino). Each of these city greenspaces, while relatively small, boasts an impressive bird list. Participants may encounter a mix of lingering waterfowl and early migrants, but the target species for this trip will be an early spring specialty, the Vesper Sparrow, which is infrequently observed in the city but has been found at all three of these city parks in mid-April. Trip limited to 15 participants; RSVP required. Contact leader for directions and detailed itinerary.
