Birding is an activity that people of all ages can enjoy while contributing to citizen science projects that are used by land managers and researchers all over the world. A park ranger will show you the basics of bird identification, share some helpful hints and tools, and lead a short, guided bird walk. Ages 8 and up. Minors must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian. No pets, please. We will provide some binoculars to share but please bring your own if you have them.
