Member Exclusive: Winter Grassland Birding

In this guided exploration of the western grasslands of Duke Farms, you will have the opportunity to see a few remarkable and threatened birds like Northern Harriers gliding low over the fields and Short-eared Owls hunting at dusk. Learn how these species adapt to open landscapes and what conservation efforts support their survival. Binoculars are provided, if needed.
