We’ll look for ducks on the lake and check the nature center feeders. Then we’ll walk through the woods to look for any early spring migrants, sparrows, and preserve residents, including the six species of woodpeckers that frequent the woods.
Meet in the parking lot in front of the nature center. There are restrooms in the Nature Center, which opens at 9:00 am. The walk is on natural surfaces (wood chip paths and dirt trails).
The bird walk is free and open to everyone. New birders are welcome! No registration required.
Leaders: Marlys Oosting and Linda Hickey
