Description

Join local birding expert Stan Shadick for a 2-hour guided bird walk over level trails through this naturalized park. We hope to see and hear a variety of songbirds and water birds which may include Brown Thrasher, Eastern Kingbird, Least Flycatcher, Yellow Warbler, Song Sparrow plus a variety of ducks, grebes and terns. Bird activity is at its best during the cool weather of early mornings.

Both novice and experienced bird watchers are welcome. A loaner pair of binoculars may be available if requested. The leader will bring a spotting scope to allow you to view the birds under high magnification.

This bird walk may be suitable for low-mobility clients who can operate their wheel-chair on fairly level trails.
