Sunday Birding Walk at Rockland Lake

Come stretch those legs and enjoy the arrival of various migrant ducks. Keep your eyes peeled for possible Eagle and Hawk sightings like the one in the event feature photo, which I took at Rockland Lake just the other day.

This will be about a 1-2 hour walk covering approx. 3 miles at a slow/moderate pace. There will be several stops at the piers and for wildlife sightings.

The path is paved and level so all you need are good walking, hiking shoes or sneakers, water and don't forget your cameras since there are plenty of photo opts! Dress in layers as it can get breezy around the lake. Time to get the hats, gloves and thermals out!

Remember on these shared pathways, to always KEEP TO THE RIGHT, to make way for cyclists, skaters and other pedestrians to pass safely. Scroll down for more details:
