Jerry Smith Park Breeding Bird Census

Join us as we visit this restored prairie and city park to conduct a migratory bird census which is requested to assist with KC Wildlands and their ongoing mission toward land stewardship around the KC Metro region. We will walk the trails in search of any lingering migrating warblers, vireos, flycatchers, thrushes and primarily focus on year-round and summer residents that use the habitat of this Kansas City park for breeding purposes. Counting birds at this park counts toward volunteer hours for Master Naturalists. 

Your leader for this trip is Sherry Leonardo. Meet at 7 am at the Jerry Smith Trailhead Parking lot at the top of the ridge. Dress for walking along the 1.5 mile long trails. Participants should spray or prepare for ticks and bring sunscreen. Feel free to bring snacks and beverages in addition to your binoculars. For more information, contact Sherry at home172@aol.com.
