Guided Bird Hike at Merritt Island — Warbler Warmup!

Join Brad Demers, author of Niagara Nature, for a morning bird hike at Merritt Island. May is usually prime Warbler season, so this walk will focus on warblers, ways to spot them, and more. Open to everyone — this walk is aimed to be an introduction to birding, including how to recognize field marks, bird song, behaviour and more. We will walk down Merritt Island's riverside trail (weather and trail conditions permitting) and return along the paved upper trail. Attendees should be able to walk approximately 3km round trip.
