WE ARE CLOSED TOMORROW, TUESDAY, OCT 4. Next week we will be closed Wed, Oct 12. Otherwise, we are open daily for the next 2 weeks, weather permitting. We are opening nets at about 6:50 a.m. and most days we start closing between 11 a.m. and 12
noon. We will open later and/or close earlier if it is very hot, very cold, wet, windy, etc. There are school groups most weekday mornings, usually arriving around 9:30. Best times to visit, if you like lots of birds and fewer humans, are early mornings during the week and Sundays.
