‘Burnet Woods Migratory Bird Walk’
Meet at the Burnet Woods Trailside Nature Center (3251 Brookline Avenue, Burnet Woods, Cincinnati, OH)
The UC Ornithology Club will lead a one-hour bird walk in Burnet Woods, in Clifton, near the University of Cincinnati.
Burnet Woods is a 90-acre park sporting hiking trails, a fishing lake, a historic bandstand, playgrounds, shelters, picnic areas, and a disc golf course.
The Audubon Society named the park an Important Birding Area. Various community groups and Cincinnati Parks work together to preserve and maintain this beautiful, wooded oasis in the heart of the busy college neighborhood, striving to keep it enjoyable and functioning for people and wildlife alike.
Our Guides
‘Burnet Woods Migratory Bird Walk’ is led by Elise Bergeron and other Executive Team members of the UC Ornithology Club. Our guides will take you around the best bird spotting areas of Burnet Woods, as migratory birds stop in the park during fall migration. They will also share about the history of the park, and current UC involvement with Cincinnati Parks, other birding areas, as well as the Lights Out Cincinnati initiative.
