ONLINE REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. Limited to 15.

Bring: Binoculars, field guides, camera if you like.  Walking poles if you use them. Good boots or shoes and dress for winter weather.

Notes: We will walk about 1.5-2 miles on natural surface trails that will probably be muddy. Some uphill and downhill walking.
