Limited to 12 participants
Difficulty Level: Easy, 3 mile walk on level grassy or gravel paths. No wheelchairs or strollers (we do have one staircase to go down).
Minutes from downtown Augusta, Phinizy Swamp Nature Park offers wetlands and habitat edges bursting with birds. We’ll search for Bald Eagles, Black-bellied Whistling Ducks, White Ibis, Least Bitterns, King Rails, and Painted Buntings, as well as migratory warblers. Nearly 250 species of birds have been recorded here and this is a great spot to see American alligators! Note: the Park’s address is 1858 Lock and Dam Road; do NOT follow signs to the Phinizy Swamp Wildlife Management Area.
This trip is co-hosted with Augusta-Aiken Audubon Society.
