Join guide David Rupp of IndiGo Birding Nature Tours for a birding walk in his neighborhood park, Humboldt Park. The park, with its beautiful wetland habitat and mix of trees, serves as a stopover site for migrant songbirds. The group will walk around the wetland and investigate some of the typical birding hotspots. Trails are flat and mostly paved and usually provide good looks at warblers, vireos, flycatchers and more.
