Spring Migration Bird Walk Series at Lake Fayetteville - April 29th–May 15, 2026

The Northwest Arkansas Audubon Society invites you to join us for the Spring Migration Bird Walk Series at Lake Fayetteville — casual, drop-in morning walks led by local birders at one of the best all-around birding hotspots in NWA. We'll be meeting every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday from April 29 through May 17 to catch the peak of spring migration as warblers and other travelers pass through. Meet us at the North Shore Disc Golf Course parking lot (GPS: 36.13853, -94.13505) at 6:30 AM — no registration, no experience needed, just bring your binoculars and a sense of curiosity. We'd love to see you out there!
