Our first event of the season is coming up this Sunday, May 17th. Our Annual Bird Count will also feature a Pancake Breakfast at 9 a.m. at the main beach. Come out and meet some Friends. It’s $14.50 for your vehicle (we’ll be selling day passes at the beach). Here are some details:

5:30 a.m. START: meet at the Lally Homestead. Not much in the way of interpretation here, just listening, looking and counting birds. Bring good footwear and binoculars and prepare to get a little wet from the grass. We hope to at least get close to our best ever count of 86 species.

8 a.m. START: meet at the main beach for this 1-hour hike around the campground. This one’s more of an interpretive hike so although binoculars would be better, they’re not absolutely necessary.

9 a.m. PANCAKES: bring some money. This is a fundraiser for the Friends.

See you bright and early!
