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).
