Meet at 7:30 a.m. at Gillam Park in the last parking lot past the swimming pool. Gillam has great habitat for migrating spring warblers. There will be moderate walking on fairly level but possibly muddy trails. Master Naturalists participating in their annual BioBlitz will join us. When we finish at Gillam, we’ll drive to the LRAC, where we’ll bird the new wildlife observation trail, then assist with light trail maintenance. Bring work gloves and wear sturdy walking shoes or boots that you don’t mind getting dirty. Last, we’ll head to Industrial Harbor Road and Terry Lock & Dam to look for Western Kingbirds, and Painted Buntings.
