Bird & Nature Adventures | Turville Point

Early Fall Migrants ~ Join popular bird guides Chuck Henrikson and Melissa Kesling for a free fun family friendly bird outing for all ages and abilities at beautiful Turville Point Conservation Park on Lake Monona.  We will follow cool shady woodland paths and along beautiful prairies to look for bright yellow Goldfinches, Woodpeckers in the trees, Owls in the pines, waterfowl on the lake and birds that are getting ready to migrate or already coming through from up north.  Experienced birders will help beginners spot hidden birds and learn to identify them by sight and sound.  Learn how to use the free Merlin app to listen for birds around you.  Bring water, repellant, and binocs or a camera if you have one.

Walks at Turville Point held on the 2nd Sunday of every month are co-sponsored by Madison Bird City FUN partners, Madison Parks and Friends of Olin Turville. 

Meet at the Turville Point parking lot, entrance at the E. Olin Ave. stoplight from John Nolen Drive at the railroad tracks, south of Olin Park (not at the boat launch). Free, welcoming, healthy, fairly accessible, family and kid friendly, educational, no registration required, no pets. Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
