FALL BIRDWATCHING HIKE
Bird migration is in full swing and it’s time to go watch the spectacle. The Paddy’s Creek parking area offers just the right mix of open water, shoreline woods and fields to see lots of species in a morning. Join Ranger Jamie Cameron for an exciting morning. We’ll start at 2 p.m. from the Paddy’s Creek Area bathhouse breezeway. Bring binoculars and a field guide if you have them.
