Birding at Bluestem Prairie Open Space
On Saturday, May 6, twenty-five conservation-minded hikers hit the trails with Palmer for the Land Lover Hike at Bluestem Prairie Open Space—a 650-acre Palmer-protected prairie grassland and bird-watching paradise. Friend of Palmer and local naturalist, Lee Derr, offered birding basics and helped guests spot birds and wildlife, including osprey, blue heron, meadowlark, and black-tailed prairie dogs.
