“Big’’ in this case is the pileated woodpecker, a crow-sized bird. The “small” refers to the chipping sparrow, a mere mite in comparison to the mighty woodpecker.

The hike will begin at 10:30 a.m. and wrap up by noon.

To join the hike, take Summit Avenue west off of Minnesota Highway 32 (just south of the Fertile downtown area). Go west past the Agassiz Environmental Learning Center Nature Center about a quarter mile and meet at the parking area and trailhead at the top of the hill.

The hike will cover about 1.4 miles along some uneven terrain and through a sand dune area.
