It begins on Saturday April 30 at the 4-Mile Creek / Davidson Woods MetroPark and concludes one week later at Voice of America and Gilmore. It’s a fantastic opportunity see lots of bird species during spring migration while also experiencing some of the best natural areas Butler County has to offer.Here’s the complete Big Week Schedule:April 30th Saturday3-5 PM4-Mile Creek MetroPark / Davidson Woods4-Mile Creek MetroPark
