ONE CHANGE IN OUR SCHEDULE starting tomorrow (Thursday) - we will be opening nets at 7:40 (an hour later) and should have birds back at the station by 8:20.  We are open 6 days per week, Tuesday-Sunday, weather permitting, through 

October 13. We will close nets most days at 11:40, although we are closing earlier as needed due to the heat. School groups arrive most weekdays at about 9:30. The best time to visit (fewest people, most birds) is before 9:30 weekdays and Sundays. 

 

Come visit!
