Join guide David Rupp of IndiGo Birding Nature Tours for a relaxed birding walk around one of the best hotspots on the south side. There should be plenty of warblers and other migrating songbirds for us to find as we search the Wooded Island and the habitat surrounding the lagoon. All levels of birders are welcome!
