Burnt Mill Creek Wildlife Walk

Join us for a free wildlife walk along Burnt Mill Creek!

The migratory birds are back, and so are our popular wildlife walks with Cape Fear Bird Observatory! Whether you are a fledgling or seasoned birder, this free ecotour will give you good looks at some of the 190 documented bird species, plus fish, amphibians, and reptiles of all sizes in this watershed. Along the way, we will also share the ongoing work we’re doing to restore this hidden urban habitat for the wildlife and people who depend on it. 

This tour is free and open to all ages. We encourage bringing: sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses), water, and comfortable walking shoes. We will be walking along a service road that may include sections of tall vegetation. 

We will meet at 2000 Shirley Rd. in Wilmington. Parking is available past the gate in the grassy area along the service road.

Registration is required to secure a set of binoculars.

If you'd like to support future ecotours, cash or check donations will be accepted the day-of, or click the donation option during registration to donate online.
