While some birds have migrated south, many stay behind, bringing life and color to our winter landscape. Some northern species even travel here, treating us to special sightings as they escape harsher climates. Whether you’re new to birdwatching or a seasoned birder, we invite you to join us on this winter birding adventure! *Maximum 20 adults.
