Everyone is welcome\, regardless of previous birding experience. Though we are sad to say goodbye to many of the summer residents at the park as they migrate south for the winter\, we are excited to see the park change as it welcomes migrant birds and its winter residents. This bird walk will be focused on the benefits of nature and its ability to positively impact our mental health. We will go at a slow pace\, allowing participants to fully immerse themself in the birds and other nature. \nThe planned route is roughly 1.0 miles of mixed surfaces\, starting with asphalt for roughly 0.2 miles\, then switching to a mowed grass trail for 0.6 miles\, and then returning along the asphalt road to the parking lot. There are a few benches throughout the walk\, where we can take breaks to accommodate a suitable pace for everyone. Our walk will have portions with shade and portions without (roughly 50/50). We expect it to be chilly in the morning with the potential of getting warmer as the morning goes on. We suggest dressing warm with layers if possible. \nTwo portable restrooms\, including one wheelchair accessible portable restroom\, will be available at the start/end point of the walk\, but no other restrooms are available throughout the walk. \nFive pairs of binoculars are available on request\, and one of the leaders will be carrying a spotting scope for the whole group to share.    To request one of the loaner binoculars\, choose that option at registration. \nParking and Meetup for the outing will be at the paved lot at the Sherwood Farms entrance to Cromwell Valley Park. Following the paved road into the park\, go right at the fork and continue until you reach the paved lot. We will be meeting near the portable restrooms at one end of the lot. \nPLEASE NOTE ANY ACCOMMODATIONS NEEDS DURING THE REGISTRATION PROCESS. \nIf you have any questions or concerns\, either on the day of or beforehand\, please reach out to Ben Banaag via email at bcbanaag@gmail.com. \nAny changes or cancellations will be communicated via email by 8:00PM on October 16\, 2026. \nPLEASE NOTE\, BY REGISTERING FOR THIS EVENT\, YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS WAIVER \n
