BRING YOUR OWN BINOCULARS BIRDING HIKE
Oct 25, 2025, 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Eagle Marsh Barn, 6801 Engle Rd, Fort Wayne, IN 46804
Come and join us for our October bird hike at Eagle Marsh! We will meet at the barn entrance and take the berm trail after passing the barn and pond. The hike will last about 2 hours and cover a total distance of about 2 miles. The trail might be damp in spots, so adequate hiking shoes will be helpful. We will get a chance to see some of our fall residents and maybe even some travelers passing through. The berm trail is great for spotting our area waterfowl, local songbirds, and there is a good chance to spot a bald eagle or two.
