Join Damien Ruffner, Audubon Mid-Atlantic’s Program Manager for The Discovery Center, and Kate Olsen, Assistant Curator of Behavioral Husbandry and Conservation at the Elmwood Park Zoo, for an introduction to the wonderful world of birding as part of this year’s Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) festivities.
Participants will learn where to find birds, what equipment to use (and how to use it), as well as what to look for. Then, head out with Damien and Kate to explore Mill Grove and participate in the GBBC—a global bird census conducted by bird enthusiasts on every continent.
This hands-on experience is a great opportunity to sharpen your birding skills while identifying, counting, and submitting observations that help scientists better understand and protect birds worldwide.
