Shorebird migration should be at its peak in mid August! It is fun as you never quite know what will turn up on any given day. Greater and lesser yellowlegs, least, semipalmated, spotted, solitary and pectoral sandpipers and perhaps some plovers or dowitchers are possibilities. Optional: Join us after the walk for a coffee and snack break. Then take some time to enjoy swimming at the beach, a bike ride or some paddling.

Directions and parking instructions are included in registration link below.
