58th Annual Bird Walk Coming To Theodore Roosevelt National Park On June 3

Share

Published Date

May 31, 2012

Birding and chuckwagon breakfasts intersect Sunday at Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota.

The Theodore Roosevelt Nature and History Association invites birders of all ages and experience levels to participate in the 58th Annual Bird Walk on Sunday, June 3. The walk will start at 6:30 a.m. MDT in the Cottonwood Campground in the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

The casual one-hour stroll will meander along the Little Missouri River in search of as many bird species as possible. Each year, 40-50 species are heard and seen during this popular event.

Following the walk, the Theodore Roosevelt Nature and History Association will host the 51st annual Chuckwagon Breakfast at the Cottonwood Picnic Area, which is adjacent to the campground. Buttermilk pancakes, country sausage, cowboy coffee and juice will be served beginning at about 8:00 a.m.

A free-will donation is suggested to help defray expenses of the meal. Those interested in attending the breakfast should make reservations in order to assist in planning the event.

“You don’t have to be an expert birder to participate in this annual event,” said Superintendent Valerie Naylor. “It is an excellent opportunity for beginning birders to go into the field with birders who have experience. We sincerely appreciate the Theodore Roosevelt Nature and History Association’s success in keeping this tradition alive for the past 58 years.”

As the national park’s non-profit partner, the Theodore Roosevelt Nature and History Association sells books and other interpretive materials in the park’s visitor centers. Proceeds are donated to the park to support interpretation and research.

Participants should bring binoculars, field guides, and keen eyes to help record the day’s sightings, and should be prepared for any kind of weather. To make reservations for the breakfast, call 701-623-4730 ext 3419 or e-mail [email protected].

Support National Parks Traveler

Your support for the National Parks Traveler comes at a time when news organizations are finding it hard, if not impossible, to stay in business. Traveler's work is vital. For nearly two decades we've provided essential coverage of national parks and protected areas. With the Trump administration’s determination to downsize the federal government, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s approach to public lands focused on energy exploration, it’s clear the Traveler will have much to cover in the months and years ahead. We know of no other news organization that provides such broad coverage of national parks and protected areas on a daily basis. Your support is greatly appreciated.
