Birding – Coleman National Fish Hatchery
October 31 @ 8:00 am - 12:00 pm
Walking distance total estimated at 1.4 miles (2-2.5 km)
We will walk through sections of the fish hatchery and exit at the west gate to enter the Battle Creek Salmon Trail. This 1.4-mile path provides great access around ponds and views along Battle Creek, featuring exceptional sections of riparian habitat.
Under ideal conditions, we should see many waterbirds, raptors, and passerines within this 77-acre area. This visit is scheduled during the middle of the fall salmon run, so we also expect an uptick inactivity along Battle Creek with many large fish fighting their way upstream.
Portable Restrooms; available at Hatchery Parking Area.
Recommend; you bring water, snacks, insect repellant, and sun protection like hat and or sunscreen.
Please note that we will try to reschedule if we are rained out. We will update any changes on this calendar event.
