This guided tour will inspire all to watch and listen for various birds that rest in – and fly across – the salt marsh and mudflats. No matter the season, you can enjoy, photograph, and identify a host of native plants. Our Nature Center Loop Trail is accessible, providing fun for all.

As summer days shorten, the earliest winter birds arrive. Keen observers may witness small flocks of phalaropes swimming in dizzy circles in our quiet ponds. We may stroll by vibrant fields of yellow goldenbush and spot a colorful Argiope spider patiently waiting in the center of a neat, tidy web or an emerald-colored green lynx spider, hidden against the foliage, waiting to ambush a passing bee. Hit the trails with us and enjoy the wonder of nature’s seasonal transition! (Weather permitting. Wildlife is unpredictable. There is no guarantee of what you will see.)
