The perfect way to learn about birds and birding!
If you are interested in learning the basics of birding but don’t know where to start or you need help identifying birds, this series of outings is for you. The outings take place every Tuesday evening from April 29th through May 27th. Meet at various local parks and always start at 6:30 p.m. These outings are led by Ward Christianson and Marlene Waldron, supported by other knowledgeable birders each outing.

Due to overwhelming numbers for these events registration is now required on Eventbrite. Members will be free to register and a $5.00 fee will apply to non-members (per event ticket). Note there is a limited number of tickets available.

Registration will open up to members each Wednesday prior to the event each week and the general public on the Saturday prior to the event each week.  See individual activities for additonal information.
