ABOUT THIS EVENT

Discover the incredible world of birds at Ford House! Join expert birders from our community for a guided walk through our stunning grounds, home to a wide variety of bird species. Every walk offers a unique experience, with the chance to spot dozens of different birds.

After the walk, warm up with a cup of coffee or tea and share your birding discoveries with fellow participants.

This approximately 2-hour walk covers both paved and unpaved paths, so please dress for the weather, wear waterproof shoes, and opt for muted colors to avoid startling the birds. Don’t forget your binoculars—or borrow a pair from us!

The program will be canceled in severe weather. Tickets can be donated to support Ford House’s educational initiatives or exchanged for a future program.

Whether you’re a seasoned birder or just beginning to explore, this walk is the perfect opportunity to connect with nature and learn about the birds that call Ford House home.

  • Friend of Ford House Adult: $8
