Beginner Birding for Adults

Saturday, Jan. 21, 8:30 a.m. at the Lawrence Nature Center

Come inside and enjoy learning about our neighborhood birds this winter!  Join the Lawrence Nature Center’s volunteer naturalist in this program designed for adults (16 years of age or older) who would like to learn how to identify the birds that are commonly found in our area during the winter. 

The program will be held in the warmth of the Lawrence Nature Center but with a bird’s eye view of the birds visiting our feeders just outside.  Dependent upon weather conditions, we may venture outside with binoculars, searching for other species found in the surrounding field and forest.

This program will be from 8:30 a.m. to approximately 9:30 a.m.  It is recommended that adults with young children attend the Beginner Birding for Kids program held at 10 a.m.

Bring your own binoculars and bird field guides if you have them, but a limited supply will be available to borrow.  Dress appropriately if you intend to take the walk towards the end of the program.
