Birdwatching for Beginners

New to birdwatching? This program is designed to help kids and families take their first steps into this rewarding outdoor activity. You'll learn how to spot and identify some of the common birds you might encounter, all in a relaxed, welcoming setting. The group will take a gentle walk of about a mile through different habitats at Prairie Ridge, giving everyone plenty of opportunities to practice what they're learning. Beyond bird identification, you'll discover how everyday birdwatchers like you contribute to larger scientific projects by sharing observation data. Kids ages 8 and up are welcome to join. Pre-registration is required for all programs at this location, so be sure to sign up ahead of time through the Prairie Ridge website.
