SUMMARY:Bird Walk
DESCRIPTION:Most of you have been to this large park off Hwy 98 at the beach. It has become a major birding area and is very popular with hikers and bikers. We will be walking up Baxley Homestead Trail to the large wetland\, about 1.4 miles\, but it’s flat all the way and is wheelchair accessible. We will have binoculars available if you need them. Bring hiking shoes\, snacks\, and drinks. Photographers will find that this is an excellent area to photograph birds including the Vermillion Flycatcher\, if he has returned for the fourth year. We are usually finished by 11:00 or so.
