Upper Iowa Audubon Spring Bird Walk slated for May 10

Upper Iowa Audubon will be hosting a spring bird walk at the Luster Heights Unit of the Yellow River State Forest. The event will be held Saturday, May 10 starting at 8 a.m. The walk will begin at the parking area for the former Luster Heights facility; the address is 481 Luster Heights Road.

The walk will culminate at the overlooks with great views of the Mississippi River Valley. The selected trail is very manageable for all ages. This will be an excellent time to look for warblers and other spring migrants.

In addition to birding, this year, the group will be joined again by Mary Damm, a plant ecologist, who will assist with wild flower and plant identification. Watch for signs to help find the location. For more information, contact Dean at 563-535-7100.
