8:30 AM – 10:00 AM
Please join Jennifer Bristol, author of Cemetery Birding and Parking Lot Birding for an exploration of Evergreen Cemetery in Austin. She will be joined by Travis Audubon co-leader Brooke Scheibe and City of Austin Parks and Recreation staff member Caitlen Hill for a fun morning of discovering birds and uncovering the history of some of east Austin’s most prominent citizens. This trip is suitable for adults, youth and people with limited mobility.
The cemetery is located at the corner of east 12th St and Airport Blvd. After pulling into the cemetery, participants should park at the North end of the cemetery, along the street furthest from the main gate. Bring a hat and sunscreen as parts of the cemetery are quite open, wear closed-toed shoes, and layers appropriate for the weather. Walk will proceed with very light rain or drizzle, but will be canceled in the event of lightning or heavy rain/winds. Please check your emails before leaving home on the morning of the walk, in case of late cancellation due to weather. Bring binoculars if you have them (a small supply of loaners will be available). A portable restroom is available on site.
Registration is free, but limited to 16 participants.
