Winter Birding Field Trip

Warbler Wednesdays are a fixture for summer birding, but we don’t have a counterpart to winter birding… until now!

Join us this winter for a couple of winter birding field trips. The intention of these field trips is to give you an introduction on how to approach birding in the Sax-Zim Bog in the winter months. We will not be targeting owls, but will take a look at any we come across.

This is a good field trip to attend, especially if you hope to learn more about how to approach winter birding in the vast Sax-Zim Bog.
