This walk will be led by Erika Piik and Eric Ozawa, who will teach the essentials of birding, focusing on skills and tips helpful for educators who wish to bring students to the park and new birders looking to dust off their binoculars after a long winter At this time of year, we can expect to see nesting robins, warblers, sparrows, vireos, and other migrants.
