The colloquial 'snowbird', Dark-eyed Juncos are adorable and dapper common winter visitors.

Toribird is back for a Winter Solstice Bird Walk Friday, December 22nd from 3:00pm - 4:30pm. Join her for a walk to seek out year-round residents and special cold-weather visitors. We will also discuss the winter finches and other irruptive species making an appearance in the area this year and cover potential strategies for finding these frosty feathered friends.

Free, pre-registration required.
