Bird Walks in the Nina Mason Pulliam EcoLab
Bird Walks in the Nina Mason Pulliam EcoLab
The Marian University Nina Mason Pulliam EcoLab is a wonderful place to bird watch, with over 165 different species sighted since 2000. The property contains a landscape designed by famous landscape architect Jens Jensen in 1911. The result of that design is a high quality natural area with lots of wetland, grassland, and lowland forest habitat. It’s a historical and ecological gem in the middle of the city! We will meet near the entrance to Allison Mansion at 8:00 a.m. every Wednesday. Parking is no trouble if you arrive just before 8:00 a.m. Bring binoculars and shoes that you don’t mind getting wet if it has rained recently.
