Join us for a guided walk through Hoover/Inverness Nature Park, an easily accessible gem right off Highway 280. The paved trail offers gentle elevation and winds among tall trees, giving excellent views of both the mid-story and cut-through. Recent sightings (9/4/25) included cuckoos, Pine Warblers, Carolina Wrens, and more!

If time allows, we’ll continue our birding adventure at Jemison Park, a shaded creekside trail known for hosting owls, seasonal migrants, and an ever-changing variety of warblers.

This event is free, but registration is required.
