Beginner Friendly Family Bird Walk

Do you and your little one love looking at birds, but wish you knew more about them? This beginner-friendly walk will introduce you both to the birding basics needed to take your appreciation to the next level. Out on the trails, you'll learn how to use binoculars, explore field guides and birding apps, and discover the key clues that help with identification: shape, size, color, sound, and behavior. You'll begin to notice how season, weather, and the time of day, affect who's out and about, making every outing a new adventure. By the end, your backyard, neighborhood, and local green spaces will be filled with a deeper understanding of our feathered friends. Meet inside the Nature Center. Please arrive at least 5 minutes before the program begins. Dress for extended time outdoors. Bring your own binoculars if you have them; a limited number of loaner pairs are available. Expect to walk between half a mile and 1 mile. All children must be accompanied by an adult for the entire duration of the program.
