Adirondack Birdwatching
Join Loree for a birding walk at John Brown Farm (115 John Brown Road, Lake Placid, NY) on Friday, August 14 at 9am. In this casual outdoor event, we’ll explore the farm’s walking tails, paying special attention to the birds we can see and hear … and wondering about the ones we can’t. No birding experience is necessary but do bring binoculars if you have them!
