Thursday Morning Birding/Naturalist Walks

Every Thursday through summer, fall, and even into winter, from 9:00 – about 10:30.

Meet at Sanctuary headquarters to explore Sanctuary trails, and sometimes beyond, looking for whatever the group is inspired by and working on our bird ID skills by sight and sound. Join the camaraderie of the group by sharing your recent sightings around the island and growing our collective knowledge of nature. Check the Sanctuary Facebook Page or send an inquiry email to be on the list for information on exact times and meeting places.

More Programs and workshops are being lined up for the summer and will be updated here.
