Dunes-Calumet Audubon Bird Walk, Indiana Dunes State Park

Any level of birder can join the Dunes-Calumet Audubon Society leader and naturalist Dan Barriball at the Wilson Shelter parking lot for a peak migration special extended bird walk. The group will leave from the Wilson Shelter lot at 8:00 am and head out on trail 2 and down the trail 2 boardwalk. We will return to Wilson Shelter on trail 10. The walk will be 3 miles long through mostly flat terrain and it will last until the early afternoon. Be prepared for muddy sections of trail and the possibility of mosquitoes. Trail 2 has some of the best migration birding in Indiana Dunes State Park for warblers and other spring migrants.
