Great Backyard Bird Count at Osage Park in Bentonville
February 15 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Join TrailMix NWA for our first-ever group participation in the Great Backyard Bird Count at Osage Park in Bentonville. As part of our new initiative to incorporate monthly themes (announced at the winter retreat) February is all about BIRDS! This annual community science event helps track bird populations and contributes valuable data for conservation efforts, making it a perfect event for our themed activities.
We will gather at 10:00 AM for a brief introduction and to get organized, then officially begin counting birds at 10:30 AM. Participants are encouraged to bring binoculars if they have a pair and to download the Merlin Bird ID app in advance to help with identification. Whether you’re an experienced birder or just getting started, this is a great opportunity to learn about local birds, connect with nature, and be part of a global research initiative.
Let us know if you plan to join us by RVSPing on our Facebook event page — we look forward to a morning of birdwatching together at Osage Park.
