This morning trip is especially for backyard birders looking to grow their skills! We will explore Lakeshore Nature Preserve and focus on the Picnic Point area. Come to have your bird questions answered and get help identifying all of those small, streaky brown birds and distant ducks. We'll also be keeping our eyes out for any exciting spring migrants. The walk will be on even trails at a leisurely pace so bring the whole family! We will have binoculars for loan.

This birding trip is cohosted by the Friends of the Lakeshore Nature Preserve
