Event Details
This is our second Birding for Life Walk celebrating our spring and summer residents and visitors. We are coming into the peak of the spring bird migration. We will talk about where the birds are heading and where we might be heading as spring turns into the abundance of summer.
We will meet at the Franklin Library Parking lot (Western boundary), 5000 Franklin Library Avenue to walk along Waveland Trail into Glenwood Cemetery.
During the walk we will have time for conversation, reflections, and quiet, as well as seeking to identify as many birds as possible. There will be plenty of opportunity to learn about birds, and practice the spiritual aspects of watching birds which is without a doubt a wonderful mindfulness practice.
We will do about a 1.5 mile walk, most of it on pavement.
This walk will be led by renown avian conservationist, Rev. Dr. LoraKim Joyner, who is Codirector of One Earth Conservation ( [https://www.oneearthconservation.org](www.oneearthconservation.org).
Bring comfortable walking shoes, binoculars if you have them, and water and nourishment as needed. Do not attend if you are ill.
