Walk the Duck on Saturday, March 12 at 8 am

Chewacla State Park - Alabama Birding Trails
Join the Opelika Wood Duck Heritage Preserve & Siddique Nature Park for Walk the Duck on March 12 at 8 am! Meet at the Homestead entrance to the park on Waverly Parkway. We’ll walk to the holding pond and into the duck blind for some great viewing of the resident and visiting Wood Duck families. The site is a favorite spot for other bird species as well.

The Opelika Wood Duck Heritage Preserve & Siddique Nature Park is an active wastewater treatment facility and as such may occasionally seem less than pristine. Barry Fleming will be guiding us along and will have a spotting scope handy, giving us all the opportunity to see these beautiful ducks.

Please wear appropriate and comfortable shoes; the trail is primarily unpaved. Binoculars, water and sunscreen will enhance your enjoyment! This is a free event and no registration is required.
