Join the Friends of Princeton Open Space (FOPOS) and expert birder Winnie Hughes Spar for a spring guided bird walk through the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve in Princeton, NJ. Together, we will observe Princeton's birds and learn about their fascinating habits!

Did you know that New Jersey is one of the best states in the country for birdwatching? Our diverse habitats and our location in the Atlantic Flyway, a migratory route along the Eastern Seaboard, positions the garden state as a leader in birdwatching.

Winnie Hughes Spar has led bird walks for Washington Crossing Audubon Society and Princeton University Reunions, as well as annual Christmas bird counts in Princeton. She is author of the poetry chapbook Frost Flowers and teaches courses on literature and nature at the Watershed Institute.

Space is limited to 20 participants; sign up today.

BYO: Please bring water and wear comfortable hiking shoes or sneakers, the trails can get muddy especially around the lake. We will be watching for birds and listening for bird songs; if you have a pair of binoculars we recommend bringing them as well.

Meeting Location: Mountain Lakes House, 57 Mountain Ave., Princeton, NJ. 08540
