Explore some of the best Refuge units for bird watching in the Fall and early winter seasons. We will spend time on these walks searching for birds only seen on the Refuge during fall migration or that spend the winter on the refuge. We will study the different species of birds and learn about some other locations to search for birds during the Fall migration and winter season. 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.

Activity Level: Easy-active, we will walk slowly and make frequent stops.

Meet Us: Meet at the Trailhead near the parking lot. Please consider carpooling with others in your party due to limited parking at some trailheads. These programs are capped at 25 participants.

What to Bring: If you have them, bring along binoculars and a favorite field guide. These programs will be held entirely outdoors. Please dress for the weather.

Cancellations: For the safety of staff and participants, outdoor programming will be cancelled in the event local areas are under an active weather advisory or warning (lightening, thunderstorms, high winds, etc.). Participants will be notified of any cancellations with a SignUp message initiated by the trip leader.
