Magpie Bird Walk
Magpies are a subgroup of the Audubon Society. R2R sponsors a walk every year in the spring through Stella Olsen Park. Magpies...love to go birding during the weekdays. They start a little later, go a little slower, and try to keep a restroom in sight. There is no charge and all are welcome, especially beginners.
