Join a naturalist and the Tri-Moraine Audubon Society to explore Killdeer Plains Wildlife Area as we look for waterfowl and much more! We will do some walking, but we will mostly be driving between points of interest. Prepare for the weather and pack a lunch/snack and beverages. A limited number of binoculars and field guides will be provided. We will depart at 9:00 a.m. and meet at the Killdeer Up-ground Reservoir at 10:00 a.m. Experienced and beginning birders are welcome.
