Patoka River NWR Birding Hike

7 A.M. Meet at Boyd Woods on the Refuge

Oakland City, Indiana

Approximately 2-3 hours

Sturdy Shoes Recommended

Join us for a birding walk through Boyd Woods in search of warblers and other migratory songbirds. We'll continue the hike past Snakey Point Marsh for possible views of waterfowl and marsh birds, and end at a little-visited portion of the Columbia Mine Preserve to look for grassland sparrows.

Directions: East on SR 64 out of Oakland City one mile from SR 357 (Main Street) to CR 1275E (look for the refuge sign). Turn left and follow signs to Snakey Point Marsh and continue on to the parking lot on the left at Boyd Woods (Maxey Marsh on the right). https://www.evvaudubon.org/copy-of-ovbf
