Join COS for an afternoon walk as we decompress from a long day at work and look for birds at Northerly Island. We'll make our way at a leisurely pace along the west side of the peninsula 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.
