This information increases our knowledge and understanding of birds and their habitats, and assists in land management and conservation. While waiting for birds to be captured in the mist net, take a walk through the trails with Jody and learn more about identifying migrating birds by sight and sound. $5/person, space limited to first 25 registrants, so call today to reserve your space!
