Saturday Guided Bird Walks at RTPI with Chautauqua-Warren Birding Association
Please join us for a new series of Saturday Guided Bird Walks, led by Devin Banning and Katelyn Davis, co-founders of the Chautauqua-Warren Birding Association.
UPCOMING WALKS AND PROGRAMS:
Fall Migration Bird Walk at RTPI – Saturday, September 20 – 9 to 11 am
Location: Roger Tory Peterson Institute, Jamestown
Contact: birdingchautauquawarren@gmail.com
Leaders: Devin Banning and Katelyn Davis
Join birders from the Chautauqua-Warren Birding Association for a guided bird walk through the Peterson Preserve in search of southbound migrants. The Preserve hosts over 140 species throughout the year, and fall is the perfect time to see dozens of species as they make their way south – some as far as the southern tip of South America!
After the walk, enjoy our discounted $5 admission to the museum and explore the current exhibitions, including Knowing Where to Stand: NANPA Environmental Impact Award Winners and Polishing the Chain: The Art of Dennis Bowen.
