Join COS for an afternoon walk as we decompress from a long day at work and look for birds at Lincoln Park's North Pond. We'll make our way at a leisurely pace around the pond in search of any ducks, herons, and early migrants hanging around and wrap up with plenty of time for dinner. Beginning birders welcome and loaner binoculars will be available.
