Buena Vista River Walk

March 28, 2026

Last month’s plans to revisit the Buena Vista River Walk were thwarted by winter weather. Now that Winter has finally yielded to Spring, we’re planning to return to this “very birdy” location to see what migrant birds might be returning as well.

We’ll be looking for a variety of waterfowl, including Green and Great Blue Herons, Wood Ducks, and Canada Geese. We’ll also explore the riparian buffer for Eastern Wood- pewee, Pileated Woodpeckers, Belted Kingfishers, and wood warblers.

A well-maintained up-and-back gravel path runs atop the flood wall overlooking the Maury and offers lovely views of the river. We’ll also bird along the riparian buffer.

Walkers will meet at 8 am at the Glen Maury Park entrance. The outing will be canceled for rain. Check our Facebook page for a weather update.
