In this introductory program, homeschool students will learn the basics of birding, including how to use binoculars, identify birds by their field marks and sounds, and understand the habitats birds depend on. Through hands-on activities and a short birding walk, participants will practice their new skills while discovering the birds that call Seven Islands State Birding Park home.
