Popular fall birding tours return to Great Salt Plains State Park,  Jack and Yvonna Hill lead the tours
through one of the Midwest’s best birding sites.

The Hills have been birding for decades all over the world and have logged more than 190 species of birds at Great Salt Plains. Past tours have logged as many as 130 different species in the State Park and Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge.

Great Salt Plains is in the heart of the central flyway,
one of the main north-south migration routes in America

It is one of the few local stops
for the rare whooping crane

Hill says the tours are designed for birding experts as well as those who do not know a Western Bluebird from a Blue Grosbeak

Tours begin at 8:00 a.m. daily at the River Road Campground.

Participants are encouraged to dress comfortably
for the weather and bring binoculars.
