Did you ever wonder what this "birding" thing is all about? Then you may be a candidate for the Birding Group. We will hold an organizational meeting in September. Birding activities will be determined by the interests and skill levels of those who sign up, but at a minimum will include a trip or two to Wintergarden Park in the spring followed by a trip to the marshes of Lake Erie, a birder "mecca" during spring migration.
Other possibilities include carpooling to some of the trips that are led by other groups at hot spots in the region.
Whether you are an expert or don't know how to use binoculars to find birds, you are welcome. We won't have an estimated frequency of gathering until we are organized, but be aware that the best birding usually happens in the early mornings so most trips will begin within an hour of sunrise, depending on the time of year.
