AUGUST BIRD CLUB MEETING
FALL BIRD WALKS
Thursdays, September & October, 8am @ Nature Center
Led by Bird Club member and expert birder James Ewing, the group walks the trails at a leisurely pace in search of everything from common backyard birds to those amazing migratory warblers. Open to birders of all experience levels! We understand if you need to duck out early to make another appointment.
SEPTEMBER BIRD CLUB MEETING
Tuesday, 9/29/2020, 5pm @ Nature Center
PLEASE NOTE THE 5 PM START TIME THIS MONTH!
We'll hit the Douglas-Hart trails for a group bird walk to practice our skills and share sightings. The walk will be on flat surfaces at a slow pace and is highly accessible. Bring binoculars if you have them. If you're an amateur birder (like many of us!), this is the perfect way to see birds you'd never spot on your own. We'll see you there!
