Join COS for an afternoon walk as we decompress from a long day at work and look for birds at the Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary. We'll make our way at a leisurely pace around the magic hedge and possibly the dunes in search of any migrants hanging around and wrap up with plenty of time for dinner. Beginning birders welcome and loaner binoculars will be available.

Total trip distance is approximately 1 miles and will take place mostly on wide paved, crushed-gravel, or wood-chip trails that are relatively level with minimal incline. We may leave the trail at times to walk through the grass for a better view of the birds. Any recent rain may create muddy conditions.

Restrooms are available at the field house.
