Overview: An early morning walk through the park to see what birds are in the area. All levels are welcomed. Walk starts at 7:30am (arrive earlier so we can start on time) and ends at approximately 10:30 am. If it is particularly active and folks want to stay longer, they may elect to. Bring binoculars, cameras (if you wish), and meet in the parking lot. If the park gates are closed there is street parking on Market Street just south of the park but avoid parking in the bus lane. Depending upon the number of participants it may be necessary to break up into more than one group. If this occurs, it may be necessary to delegate someone who is familiar with the park as an additional walk leader.
