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.
