February 14th

Date:  Friday, February 14th 
Time:  9:00am – 11:00am
Location:  130 Conservation Road
Cost:  FREE
 
Curious about participatory science?  Want to learn how to submit your bird observations to the exciting, global Great Backyard Bird Count Feb 14-17?  Use pen and paper, or the Merlin app, or the eBird app!
 
Birders of all skill levels and ages are welcome!  This is a beginner-friendly, family-friendly event, and we have binoculars and field guides to borrow if you’d like to try ours. 
 
We will get set up in the warmth of our Meeting Room, then head out for a guided bird hike searching for winter finches, check the raven nests, the feeder, and comb the back woods and multiuse trail.   Then we will bring our lists back inside and submit them together. 
 
Give birds a big valentine, and turn your observations into conservation!
