Join us with Dr. Alan Peterson and Frank Margiotta of the Ralph T. Waterman Bird Club for a guided bird walk at Vlei Marsh, an e-Bird Hot Spot! As the second largest regional wetland with a core forest interior, this 165-acre Preserve attracts a wonderful diversity of bird species. At this late spring event, we will also be able to observe migrating species, including many warblers. Past walks have observed: Great Blue Heron, American Coot, Sora, Virginia Rail, Wood Duck, Common Gallinule, Osprey, Eagle, Yellow Warbler, Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Eastern Bluebird, Scarlet Tanager and Baltimore Oriole. There will be something to enjoy for all levels of birders!
