Join IndiGo Birding Nature Tours guide David Rupp for a walk around Humboldt Park. The park boasts a nice variety of habitats, but the best birding is usually around the lagoon and wetlands. We'll walk the open trails in search of sparrows, kinglets, and other late migrants and also survey the lagoon for waterfowl, herons, and other water birds. All levels of birders welcome. Plan on two hours, but you can leave earlier (or stay later!) if desired. Meet in the main parking lot at the boathouse on the east side of Humboldt Dr.
