Bird & Nature Adventures | Turville Point

Early Fall Migrants ~ Join enthused Bird Guides Melissa Kesling and Chuck Henrikson to have fun looking for tiny warblers in the trees, brightly patterned ducks and geese on the lake, and other fall migratory birds getting an early jump on their travel south for the winter.  Madison's lakes and urban natural areas provide an important migratory stopping point for birds to rest and refuel. Tiny Hummingbirds and other birds need to add up to a third to their body weight in order to fly nonstop across the Gulf of Mexico to South America!  Enjoy the winding trails and beautiful views across the lake to downtown Madison.

Follow rolling hiking paths through the Turville Point Conservation Park woodlands and prairie with beautiful vistas of Lake Monona and Monona Bay. Walks at Turville Point held on the 2nd Sunday every month are co-sponsored by Madison Bird City FUN partners, Madison Parks, Badgerland Bird Alliance, Friends of Olin Turville, and Madison Audubon Society. Meet at the Turville Point parking lot, entrance at the E. Olin Ave. stoplight from John Nolen Drive at the railroad tracks, south of Olin Park (not at the boat launch). No registration is required. No pets are allowed.
