This program will help the beginning bird watcher learn about choosing and using a pair of binoculars. You will also learn how to look at a bird and determine which field marks to look for, to help you identify them correctly. After the indoor portion of this program, we will take a short hike to observe some birds outdoors and learn some techniques to help you find and spot more birds.
