Geared towards birders of all skill levels, free, guided walks are offered every Saturday morning at 8:00 am. Walks meet at the Freeport Wild Bird Supply and usually involve a short car-pool trip to a local site of seasonal interest. Bring your binoculars, or borrow a pair of ours, and come on out to see some birds and learn about their habits!
