Meet at 8:00 AM at the Stillwater Wildlife parking lot that is about a quarter mile west of the Stillwater Store. The turn is often hard to see so watch for it.
You will need a Discovery Pass to park here!
Expect to spend 2-3 hours wandering the trail on the top of the dike, looking for birds and listening to their calls. We will practive looking at key characteristics like shape, size, color patterns, and behaviors. The merling app may be helpful in identifying species and a bird book either hard copy or as an app will give more information.
