Please join us for our monthly bird monitoring walks on the refuge.  Ken Copenhaver and Julie Filiberti lead the walks on various refuge trails on the third Saturday of each month (except December, when it will be on the second Saturday).

These walks are appropriate for birders of all skill levels and provide a wonderful opportunity to learn about birds throughout the seasons.
