Join Mike van den Tillaart and Jane Bibby for a morning bird hike during spring migration.

We'll meet at the Covered Bridge and carpool to the parking lot at Barber Scout Camp.  The hike will follow the beautiful Eramosa River along the OR Sidetrail to the Reformatory Ponds and back again.  We'll take a slow pace with lots of time to stop and watch for birds. 

Don't forget your binoculars!  If you don't have any, then you can borrow some from the Guelph Public Library.  We also have a couple of pairs to lend to the first two folks who let us know they need them.
