Join us to explore the birds of Colyer Lake. After meeting in the parking lot on Lake Road, we will scan the lake for waterfowl and early swallows. From there, we will take a leisurely walk down the road to the end of the lake to look for resident and migrant birds. There is also a trail around the lake and those who are interested can continue along the trail for a longer hike, while the rest of the group continues back to our cars. Meet us at the parking lot on Lake Road (GPS 40.772478, -77.680872).
