August Walk - Korth Park

Strong rains the day previous did not dampen the spirits on our walk through the prairie area of Korth Park. The day was sunny and warm with no rain in sight. Besides a good number of birds, we took close looks at wildflowers, dragonflies and butterflies. As always at this site, there is a wide variety of nature to observe.

There is a complete list of birds sighted below.

If you couldn't be with us for this walk, we hope you will be able to join us for an upcoming field trip. Who knows what you'll miss if you don't join us?
