Spend the morning wandering the beautiful Gilbert Riparian Preserve.  This productive 110 acre wetland includes 7 recharge ponds and one community pond that support a diversity of plants and wildlife.  The park, built by the city in 1999, has become a local birding hotspot.  We can expect to see a nice variet of waterfowl, raptors and wintering sparrows.  Meet at 8 a.m. at the parking lot off of Guadalupe Road, just east of Greenfield Road.  Bring water, hat and lunch.  Wear comfortable walking shoes.

Time: 8 AM to about 1 PM
