DeBary Hall: Wing it Wednesday

Lace up your walking shoes and head to Lake Monroe Park for a guided bird walk led by DeBary Hall staff. You will learn about the park's history and cultural significance, practice live bird identification by sight and sound, and receive assistance adding new species to your personal "life list.” Keep an eye out for the tufted titmouse, barred owl, and northern mockingbird, plus seasonal surprises. Binoculars are encouraged but not required. Meet at Lake Monroe Park, 975 U.S. Highway 17-92, DeBary, in the parking lot to the far left, closest to the trail entrance for the Lake Monroe-Gemini Springs-DeBary Hall trail.

Registration is not required for this program, which is offered without charge. For more information, call 386-668-3840 or email lperez@volusia.org.
