Birds on the Move

Fond du Lac is recognized as a "Bird City" and celebrates it annually with special birding events in late April and early May as birds are making their annual northern migration. 

At 10:00 A.M. on Saturday, May 6th, the Sisters of St. Agnes will welcome visitors to the top of the ledge for a guided bird walk. Look for the Bird City flag at the driveway just past SMSA and turn to park at the TOP of the hill. Walk leader Kerry and Dave Sehloff will guide you in the oak savannah's short half-mile, flat trail. 

Bring binoculars if you have them and shoes meant for an outdoor experience!
