Description

An opportunity to get out, enjoy birds, and help with the Great Backyard Bird Count! This two-hour walk will focus on Grasmere Lake, the southern lake in Washington Park. The lake usually provides a nice variety of duck species and the surrounding path can sometimes yield sparrows, kingfishers, blackbirds and more! This trip is open to all levels of birders from beginning to advanced. It will be the middle of February, so plan to dress accordingly.The gravel path can get icy so wear warm boots with good soles. 

Meeting Location: Northwest corner of South High School parking lot (Franklin St. and Louisiana St.).
