Friends of Stewart Park invites you to a free guided bird walk with Meena Haribal

Meet at Stewart Park, in the northeast parking lot--as soon as you enter the park, take your first immediate right at the stop sign. You will be facing the lake as soon as you make the right turn, and this parking lot is only about 100 yds from the entrance.

Bring a pair of binoculars if you can--there will be a scope and a few pairs of binoculars to share. 

This walk will be on level terrain the entire time, no hills. We'll start along the lake shore and should see a variety of ducks, geese, mergansers, loons and gulls. Then we'll head into the woods in the adjacent Renwick Sanctuary--looking for forest birds such as wrens, nuthatches, titmouse and many other species. Possibly great horned owls roosting, but no guarantees! Dress in layers for the weather, including hat and gloves. The lake shore can be windy!
