It’s time for the snowbirds to head back north as southern climates start to heat up! We are going to go out for a relaxing morning bird hike in honor of World Migratory Bird Day.

Learn about the species that are migrating through our area while listening and looking for our feathered friends. This program is for all birding skill levels.
