You will get to see the vast beauty of the park in areas you may not have ever made it to if you were walking. \nCome experience the wonder of our Dabblers and Divers. \nWe will meet at the Visitor’s Parking lot in the front of the park. This event is led by Phinizy’s birder extraordinaire\, Ruth Mead\, and Audubon’s field trip leader\, Lois Stacey. \nYou must register each individual below to attend. \nQuestions?
