We’ll check the lake for Great Egrets, Great Blue Herons, and waterfowl. Then we’ll walk the perimeter to look for sparrowsand warblers in the tall grasses & flowers and scour the treesfor four woodpecker species and more.

Meet near the far end of the parking lot.

There are accessible porta pottys.

The walk is on a mowed lawn path.

The bird walk is free and open to everyone.
