Bird Walks at Forsythe NWR

Atlantic Audubon hosts Saturday bird walks at Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in April, May, September, and October (weather permitting). The walks begin at 8:00 a.m. and finish approximately at noon. We meet at the Visitor Information Center parking lot (///imagined.upholds.lances). The walks are led by volunteers who are our resident experts. See the events calendar for exact dates. If you have any questions, please contact Atlantic Audubon at atlanticaudubonsociety@gmail.com, call us at 609-800-4778 , or send us a message via our Facebook page.

Be sure to check out the weekly Friday walks at Forsythe NWR from 8:00–10:00 a.m. The Refuge offers these bird walks year-round except during the heat of the summer when the biting insects are at their worst. Friday morning bird walks return on the first Friday after Labor Day.

Below is a summary of our regularly scheduled bird walks posted by bird walk leaders. See the AAS eBird profile page for the latest checklists submitted for our bird walks and field trips (eBird account required).

Charles, Roz, and I joined Kevin Lippert (walk leader), Pat Taylor, Bill Elrick, Alice Sikora, Brandon Henry, and Shawn at Forsythe NWR for the first Saturday morning Atlantic Audubon bird walk of the season. It was 27 degrees when we started, but winds were light and skies were bright. Walks will continue every Saturday in April and May, beginning at 8 a.m. from the parking lot near the Visitor Center. All are welcome! MASKS REQUIRED, even if you're fully vaccinated.
​
Kevin tallied 54 species today, including Bald Eagle, Osprey, Northern Harrier, Red-tailed Hawk, Sharp-shinned Hawk, Wilson's Snipe, Brown Thrasher, Eastern Towhee, Hermit Thrush, Pine Warbler, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Eastern Phoebe, Eastern Bluebird, Tree Swallow, Purple Martin, Northern Flicker, Downy/Hairy/Red-bellied Woodpeckers, Song/Swamp/Field/White-throated Sparrows, Great Blue Heron, Great Egret, Wood Duck, Northern Shoveler, Bufflehead, Carolina Wren, Carolina Chickadee, Tufted Titmouse, White-breasted Nuthatch, Northern Cardinal, Yellow-rumped Warbler. Not bad for this early in the season and such a cold morning!
