Hornsby Bend Bird Observatory


Hornsby Bend is open to the public seven days a week from 6am to 9pm. Because we are a wastewater facility, all visitors must present an ID at the main gate to enter the site. The Center for Environmental Research building is open 7am-6pm every day, and restrooms are available there.  Dogs allowed but MUST be on leash! 

Check out our Monthly Events under the Events page.
