Neale Woods

Registration is recommended but not required.

Listed as number 2 on the best places to bird in Douglas County is Neale Woods, a property owned by Fontenelle Forest, but located North of Hwy 680 along the Missouri River Flyway. This property consists of both prairie and upland forest and to date, 151 species have been reportedly seen there. Home to the Barred Owl, birders will hear its call alongside the songs of warblers who find respite here during their long migration. Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers, Swainson’s Thrush, and the Eastern Bluebird are often seen at this less-traveled birding hotspot.

Please note that if there is a cancelation due to weather, it will be posted on the website and on Facebook.

For those of you new to Audubon, this group is composed of youth ranging in age from 8 to 19. Younger youth must be accompanied by an adult. There is no formality or annual time requirement to enjoy this group experience. Drop in, come give it a try. It’s a fun bonding experience for you and your favorite youth.
