Original post:

Join us for a bird walk during spring migration! We’ll look for warblers and other migrants, and see if we can add to the 129 species on the Park Bird List. We will be led by Dave Eberly – a lifelong birder, for the past 31 years, he has participated in the Christmas Bird Count (CBC), the world’s longest-running Citizen Science project. For the past 14 years, he has taken on the important task of compiling all CBC data for Delaware County!
