The Environmental Education Center Naturalists offer a variety of birding programs such as guided walks on our trails, day trips to near-by parks, and overnight trips throughout the year. Most programs are designed for adults, but specific programs are offered for families and teens too. All levels of birders are welcome to join the fun!
One of the greatest joys of birding is seeing beautiful jays, cardinals, chickadees, and goldfinches right in your backyard. However, there are over 10,000 spectacular bird species found throughout the world. Over the next several months we will be learning about each and every bird family in taxonomic order. The lectures will cover a few new families at a time and will introduce their life histories, ranges, descriptions, and interesting facts. Each presentation will provide you with a new appreciation for the world of birds! Pre-registration is not required. Check our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/EECscparks/) for any changes or cancellations to the programs. FREE
