We will meet in the parking lot of the Audubon House and follow the Fledgling Trail, identifying birds at the Marsh. After about 2 hours of birding, we will enjoy a bring-your-own-lunch, at the Audubon House picnic tables, where we can tally the birds heard that day. Audubon House has handicapped restrooms available.
