Urban Wetland Bird Walk
When:
Saturday, May 17, 2008
8:00 AM to 10:30 AM
Details:
You
don't have to leave the city to enjoy nature!
Just
west of the busy Eden Prairie
center is a wetland that has become recognized for hosting several hard-to-find
shorebirds, plus terns, ducks and songbirds and more during migration. Join us
for a morning walk through the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area to witness this
wildlife in its habitat.
The
trail is mostly flat and offers some up-close opportunities to view many birds
and other wetlands residents. We will loop around the wetland and continue to
nearby Staring Lake to check for birds on the lake and
in the surrounding woods. Bring comfortable shoes good for walking, water and a
snack. Binocluars and field guides are useful, too. All ages welcome.
Rating: Easy
Directions:
Meet at
the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area Pavillion, 13001 Technology Drive in Eden Prairie.
Take
Higway 5 west from 494. Exit at Prairie
Center Drive, the first exit after 494, and then
turn right (south) at the stoplight. You will see the Purgatory Creek
Recreation Area pavillion on the right, at the south intersection of Technology Drive
and Prairie Center Drive.
Plenty of free on-site parking is available.
