Field Trip: Jerry Smith Park

Join us as we visit this restored prairie and city park to conduct a migratory bird census. We will walk the trails in search of migrating Vireos, Flycatchers, Warblers, Thrushes and whatever else is there. This census assists KC Wildlands and their ongoing mission toward land stewardship around the Kansas City Metro region. Counting birds at this park counts toward volunteer hours for Master Naturalists. Individuals of all skill and experience levels are welcome to attend. 

Your leader for this trip is Sherry Leonardo. Meet at 8 am at the Jerry Smith Trailhead Parking lot at the top of the ridge. Dress for walking along the 1.25-mile-long trails. Feel free to bring snacks and beverages in addition to your binoculars. For more information, contact Sherry at 816-718-5888 or home172@aol.com
