Come and join us on our Bird Walks to one of several different local birding hot spots. Our walks will be easy walking and good for beginner or intermediate level birders, led by our own Cathy Matovich. We will start out from the store parking lot at 7:30 a.m. and be done by 9:45 for the Saturday walks.

Bring your binoculars, walking shoes and favorite birding field guide. You will find that this is always a great learning time for everyone, as we work together to identify what we see and hear.
