An Early Spring Bird Walk at Errol Heights

Hey bird lovers! Let's do an early Spring stroll around the Errol Heights wetlands. It's an excellent hotspot for birds, with regular reports of 40+ species. There are lots of varieties of ducks, song birds, woodpeckers, sporadic raptors, and, with luck, we may see the splendid & secretive Wilson's Snipes.
