So come out early if you would like to do a little bird spotting…48 species were seen last month including our first  Northern Harrier. Then join the cleanup fun at 10 am. 

Park along Ricecrest and meet at “Stonehenge”.   Wear comfortable clothing, a hat if you want, and gloves. We will provide plastic trash bags and water.
