Families and nature enthusiasts are invited to welcome spring with a unique twist on a classic tradition during the Macon County Conservation District’s upcoming Egg Hunt at Rock Springs Conservation Area.

The free event takes place Saturday, April 19, from 10 to 11:30 a.m., and offers participants the chance to explore the outdoors, learn about local bird species, and hunt for hidden eggs scattered throughout the area.

Unlike traditional egg hunts, this nature-focused program highlights the diversity of bird eggs found in Macon County. Guests will be introduced to a variety of eggs—from tiny, bright blue ones to speckled eggs that blend seamlessly into their surroundings—while learning what makes them special and which birds lay them.

A special prize will be awarded to the lucky individual who finds the coveted Golden Egg. Participants are encouraged to bring their own baskets and register online by April 18 at MaconCountyConservation.org.

Rock Springs Conservation Area is located on the southwestern edge of Decatur. Visitors can reach the site by heading south on Route 48 and turning west onto Rock Springs Road, or by taking Wyckles Road south and turning east onto Rock Springs Road. Signs will be posted, and ample parking is available.
