Hornsby Bend Bird Observatory
***
Hornsby Bend is open to the public seven days a week from dawn to dark. 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. Construction near the ponds continues so please see Location Map and Construction/Access Changes under the Birding Tab to understand where access may be limited.
Check out our Monthly Events under the Events page.

Birdwatchers are encouraged to enter the birds they see at Hornsby Bend into eBird. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology created eBird in 2002 to serve as an online checklist program where observers can enter their bird sightings into a worldwide database of sightings. There is even an eBird App for your smart phone so you can enter your checklist while at Hornsby.
To see recent (and all) sightings at Hornsby, please look at eBird data for the 2 eBird Hotspots for Hornsby Bend:
There is overlap between the two hotspots with different observers entering their data at one location or the other.
