Haunted Bird Walk at Cane Hill Cemetery - Saturday, October 24th, 2026
The Northwest Arkansas Audubon Society invites you to join us for our first-ever Haunted Bird Walk: an evening outing to the historic Cane Hill Cemetery as we search for owls, crows, vultures, and other spooky nighttime birds. We'll explore this Civil War-era cemetery site and tell some Arkansas ghost stories—and we'll be joined on the walk by Historic Cane Hill experts who will share the history of the site with us. Sunset is a great time to see many other migrants foraging and settling down for the evening as well, including sparrows, grosbeaks and a variety of forest and grassland resident species. Meet us at the Cane Hill Cemetery (GPS: 35.913984, -94.399121) at 5:30pm Saturday, Oct 24. Expect to walk slowly for 60-90 minutes over uneven terrain. We'll finish after dusk, so flashlights are recommended along with hiking shoes and bug spray. For bonus fun, come in a walking-appropriate Halloween costume! Roadside parking will be available near the cemetery site within easy walking distance. Guides and Historic Cane Hill leaders will be on site to direct you to parking. To limit cars, we ask attendees to carpool whenever possible.
Limited to 35 attendees. RSVP at trips@nwarkaudubon.org with the trip name, your name, and the number attending.
