In memory of our favorite "Bird Nerd" and consulting Ornithologist, Sherri (Gerry) Smith, TILT is honored to host the Smith Memorial Bird-a-Palooza.

The morning will feature two events, the Warbler Walk and the Bird is the Word Hike to get out on the land and observing the incredible bird species that pass through our region during spring migration.

Experienced, novice, and brand-new birders of all ages are encouraged to join us! Remember to dress in layers and don’t forget your binoculars.

Bird Is The Word Hike 9:30 - 10:30 AM

This family-friendly morning hike will feature a fun, interactive birding walk for kids of all ages! Once again, Master Naturalist and avid birder Dan Miller will guide us on our walk. Children will learn about resident and migrating songbirds while practicing beginner bird identification skills. 

This trek is best for all ages!
