Have you ever wanted to get into birding but are not sure where to start? Now is your chance to learn how to get started (just in time for spring migration)!
What: Introduction to Birding Workshop
When: Sunday, March 20th
Time: 9:00-11:00am
Cost: $20 for members / $35 non-members (all proceeds go to benefit the Closter Nature Center)
Pre-Registration: Required (see link below)
The first portion of the class will cover basic bird identification, birding etiquette, places to go, a high-level overview of tools you might need or want such as binoculars and cameras, an overview of websites, apps, and other tools.
We will also discuss binoculars, the primary tool of birders. Bring your own or we will have "loaners" available.
Once we have the basics down, in the second part of the session we will explore the pond and surrounding trails while applying and practicing what we learned.
Please note this workshop is primarily intended for adults and will be led by birding enthusiast and long-time Closter Nature Center volunteer Joel Rudin.
