Spring migrants are moving through, and summer residents are arriving. A Red-Shouldered Hawk nest is visible, butterflies are emerging, tadpoles are growing, and spring wildflowers are still blooming. Join the Friends of Runnymede Park to look at everything on Saturday, May 14 at 8am. Bring your binoculars or borrow some from walk guides. Meet in the parking lot at 8am. The walk usually lasts two hours. Free and no registration is required.
