Bring your binoculars to Zonta Landing at Riverside Park Waterfront and grab the best seat in the house to see these fabulous flyers. An experienced birder/program specialist will be guiding the group from 8:30 to 10 a.m..
Canoes, paddles, and personal flotation devices will be provided. No birding experience is needed, but participants are required to be ages 12 and must be able to maneuver and control a canoe.
