TWO SESSIONS: 9 – 11 and 1 – 3
The Great Backyard Bird Count is an annual event where veteran and novice birders come together to document and share bird-sightings in their communities. Bird enthusiasts on every continent will be watching birds this winter weekend, counting each species they observe, and submitting their data.
Join in the fun with Damien Ruffner, Audubon Mid-Atlantic’s Program Manager for The Discovery Center, and Nikole Koenig, the Elmwood Park Zoo’s Education and Camp Program Coordinator, for an Introduction to Birding session followed by a guided Great Backyard Bird Count bird tour.
You’ll learn where to go to watch birds, what equipment you’ll need, how to use it, and what to look for first, before heading off to explore Mill Grove with Damien and Nikole as part of this global census.
