Belted Kingfisher Bird Walk
Join author Marina Richie and Sevilla Rhoads of the Sunriver Nature Center for a family-friendly walk to look and listen for kingfishers and other birds. Learn cool kingfisher facts along the way--from their headfirst dives to how they build their nests deep in earthen burrows.
The focus will be on enjoying time in nature while curious and learning together about birds (and perhaps a few other creatures along the way).
We walk about three miles over outdoor terrain, so bring warm winter layers, sturdy boots with traction, and a trekking pole for the ice and snow patches. You should bring some water and snacks for the kids if needed. No strollers or dogs. Bring cameras and binoculars if you have them, but the most important is to come ready to observe and listen to your surroundings.
If you provide an email address, the guide, Sevilla Rhoads, will provide you with an eBird list of the bird species seen on the walk along with any photos taken of the birds that day.
Preregistration required. Fee is suggested, but not required if it is a barrier to participation. If the fee is a barrier, use code BIRDER for no-cost registration.
We welcome people and families of all backgrounds. If you need a physically more accessible walk, please contact us to arrange one more suited to your abilities.
