On June 24 the “Breeding Birds” Guided Bird Walk at Chimney Rock Park will take place from 9am–noon.

Summer is a time of frenzied activity for many resident birds as the 2007 “Simon Says” Guided Bird Walk Series continues. Park ornithologist Simon Thompson will point out local Downy, Hairy and Pileated Woodpeckers, who will be noisily feeding their young. Both the summer-resident Scarlet Tanagers and Wood Thrushes should be singing and establishing their territories.
