Fri., June 3-Froggin’ Hike – 7:00 p.m..- South Tailwater
Croaks, churps, trills and burps….who’s making all that noise? Spring is a great time to enjoy the serenades of native frogs and toads. Learn how to identify Red Rock’s amphibians and identify them by their calls.

Sat., June 4 – Bird Banding – 7:00-9:00 a.m. – Visitor Center
Join Nelson Hoskins, area birdwatcher and licensed bird bander, to experience what the science of bird banding is all about! Mist nets will be set up to capture small birds which will then be fitted with numbered leg bands to track their movements (if recaptured at some point in the future). Come check out the thrill of seeing live birds “in hand” as they are banded for future research!
