From waterfowl, shovelers and teal of Station Pond, shorebirds, short-billed dowitchers and hudsonian godwits of Godwit bar to terns, roseate, forster's and black, and jaegers of South Beach, all the places packed with birds during migration. We’ll share some of the magic of all these unique bird and birding magnets. This event is intended for adults. Registration deadline: two days before each program. Fee: $6Members, $8Non-Members.
