Free Guided Bird Tours at Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge

Description

Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge invites you and your family to join us for FREE guided bird tours. Join us for a morning hike and learn about what species can be found around the refuge in the fall. Be on the lookout for raptors, waterfowl, warblers, and other species as you explore. All birding experience levels are welcome, no experience is necessary.

The tour will be approximately 1-3 miles long. Please wear weather appropriate clothing and close-toed shoes and, if you choose, bring binoculars, camera, field guides, water, a snack, sunscreen, and bug spray. Be advised that poison ivy is common on the refuge. Visitors are encouraged to bring their binoculars or to borrow a pair from the refuge for the duration of the tour. 

Your guide will be refuge volunteer, Dan Orr. You will meet at the Blue Hill Trailhead on Sherburne County Road 9, approximately 6 miles west of Highway 169.
