A bird here, a bird there; winter has come, and the winter birds are everywhere.

** If you miss the 9 a.m. meeting at Doctors Creek, similar event will also be held at the South Sulphur Unit of Cooper Lake State Park, starting at 1 p.m. **

Meet at the South Loop Trailhead at 9 a.m. next to the Pelican Point Day Use Area. We’ll go on a walk around the shoreline, a pocket prairie, and a day-use area while looking for varied birds.

Bring your binoculars and dress for the weather.
