This is a leaderless birding experience. You will bird on your own between the hours of 7 am and 10 am. The idea is you will “bump” into fellow birders as you make your way along the trail loop, chat a little about what you are seeing, then move on and hopefully run into another birder further along the trail. You can start at 7 or sleep in and start at 8 or even 9! 

The route we will follow is as follows. Starting at  Waterlily Pond (just south of the Office) follow the St. James Trail  to the McCormick Woods Trail intersection. Follow McCormick Woods Trail all the way to the Information Kiosk by Mack Road, then travel South down the drive to just past the Horse & Hound Cemetery and back to the parking area. St James Farm Map

The entrance is located on the east side of Winfield Road, 0.25 mile north of Butterfield Road. You can hike the loop in either direction. 

 Dress for the weather. Masks and social distancing required.
