Fall Migration Bird & Nature Walks at Cat Island National Wildlife Refuge

The Friends of Cat Island will host a birding walk at 6:00 AM and a nature walk at 8:00 AM at Cat Island National Wildlife Refuge. Both walks will be about three miles. The exact location on the refuge is tentative at this time based on refuge conditions. A volunteer will be available to guide you to the correct spot where you will sign in. For an interactive map of the refuge go to https://www.fws.gov/refuge/cat-island/map. Experts will be there to assist with species identification. Be prepared for heat and no bathroom facilities; bring water, bug spray, sunscreen, proper clothing and proper footwear. An aid station will be set up for assistance.
