On this walk we will learn some bird watching basics. You will learn about binoculars, field guides and apps for your phone that will enhance your bird watching experience. We will study some of the fall migrants that visit the refuge and maybe find a few species of birds that over winter on the refuge. We will study the different species of birds observed and learn about some other locations to search for birds during the Fall/Winter seasons. This program is geared towards beginning birders, but birders of all skill levels are welcome to attend these walks. Bring along your binoculars, favorite field guide and dress appropriately for the weather. Contact Craig with questions at egretcman@msn.com.
