Second Saturday Bird Walks

2nd Saturday of the month

Free, but donations appreciated

Work on your bird watching skills while helping the Arboretum monitor bird populations on a fun, relaxed morning walk. Join us on the second Saturday of each month at the front door of the building for a two-hour bird walk led by Kelsey Low. We welcome all levels of bird watching skill and all ages (as long as you’re quiet) – but no dogs, please! If you have binoculars of your own, please bring them. We do have some binoculars available to borrow.

Birding by Ear

Saturday, February 18, 9:30 - 11:30 am

$20 member / $35 nonmember

Birds don’t usually want to be seen, but they do make a lot of noise. In this class, you'll learn the basics of birding by ear. Get tips for committing songs and calls to memory while we practice on three local species (Northern Cardinal, Downy Woodpecker, and Tufted Titmouse). Learn how to look for good recordings to practice with and how to apply your knowledge in the field. Finally, we'll go on a walk to listen for birds. Ages 13 and up
