Birding 101 at Newport News Park (Newport News)

September 24 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am

Who-cooks-for-you, allll? Jay-jay! Peter-peter, potato-chip, oh-sweet Canada-Canada-Canada!
What do these random phrases have in common? They are all common mnemonics for bird songs that bird watchers use to identify a bird!
 
Join a park ranger to learn about what makes bird watchers so “coo-coo” for bird watching!
 
We’ll learn some beginner bird watching skills and go over a few local bird species to get you started (you probably already know them). Then, we’ll practice bird watching together outside the Discovery Center using binoculars and a field guide.
 
Be sure to bring your own binoculars and bird field guides if you already have them!
This program is recommended for ages 6 and up.
