Birding Basics

This program is free and open to all ages. Participants take a casual walk at Gray’s Lake in search of migrating and residential birds. John Bissell leads the group, pointing out birds, talking about their habits and answering questions. Great for beginners or people with some experience. The program is held each Wednesday through the end of May.

The first half of the series we will focus on water birds such as ducks, geese, loons, grebes, mergansers, pelicans, and herons. The public will meet in the beach parking lot on the north side of Gray’s Lake.

For the second half of the series we will meet in the southeast parking lot for viewing of songbirds such as warblers, vireos, thrushes, and sparrows.
