Description
Join Bill Pentler on a leisurely, outdoor exploration around the Tingley Bosque Ponds area. It’s a good time to spot porcupines in the leafless trees and search the ponds for wintering ducks, cormorants, heron, and more. This is a two-to-three-hour hike that covers almost three miles over generally level ground but with some tripping hazards. Dress for the weather, bring water and binoculars. No restrooms. Limited enrollment.
