No experience is necessary, and the hike will be led by one of the bird experts at Marian. The only things that are necessary are binoculars and a little bit of patience! We will meet at the St. Francis colonnade just west of Allison Mansion on the Marian campus at 8:00 am every Wednesday during March and April (excluding March 13), and will head into the EcoLab shortly after. Bring water to drink and wear comfortable shoes. No reservation is required.
