UPCOMING NATURE WALK!
Butler Beach Park and Weff Rd Docks
9:00 am
Meet at Butler Beach Park for a field trip of
shorebirds! The Weff Rd. Docks are
infamous for the large number of roosting
shorebirds that rest there during high tide
everyday. Hopefully there will be American
Oystercatchers, Dunlin, Short-billed Dowitchers,
Western Sandpipers, Black-bellied Plovers, and
more. This is a great place to at your
leisure view shorebirds as they sit. No
brief glimpses and unsatisfying views
here. | |
