Field Trip: Sterling Creek Park Field Trip with Pam Smith

(Member registration opens 12/6; Nonmembers 12/13)

Member tickets: $12.00; Nonmember $14.00. Capacity limited to 15 people.

Come explore this relatively undeveloped park with Ogeechee Audubon Master Birder, Pam Smith.

Meet Pam at the end of the gravel driveway leading into the park.

The area of the park which we will explore consists mostly of  impoundments which were once part of a sewage treatment operation, but are now left to birds and wildlife. In winter, we should find several species of sparrows and possibly up to 4 resident wrens (including Sedge wren) and raptors. Sometimes we see snipes, too! 

We plan to walk the 3-mile mowed trail around and through the impoundments. There is a restroom in the parking lot. Most of the walk is open to the weather, so dress accordingly.

Directions:  Sterling Creek Park is at 1700 Elbow Swamp Road Richmond Hill, GA 31324. The entrance is off Harris Trail in the back of the Sterling Creek Park Subdivision, adjacent to the water treatment facility.
