Walk with the Birdchick, listen for birds, and talk about what they might be communicating this time of year. Some birds sound weird because they are young and learning their sound, and it is possible to tell different chip notes apart. We will, of course, look at birds as we find them.
Sharon Stiteler, widely known as the “Birdchick”, is a writer and speaker who has made it her career to get paid to go birding. She wrote the books Disapproving Rabbits, 1001 Secrets Every Birder Should Know, and North American Bird Watching for Beginners.
She regularly appears on television, podcasts, and radio answering bird questions as well as performing in storytelling shows. She’s worked a variety of jobs like conducting bird surveys, being a field trip leader and park ranger, and was even the voice of Denali National Park and Preserve. She currently resides in Minnesota with a retired Denali sled dog named Party Pants.
Recommended for beginners and intermediate birders ages 8 and above.
Cost: $15 Member; $18 Nonmember

Birding programs at Indian Creek Nature Center are supported by the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation, Paul Morf and Amy Friedl Donor-Advised Fund in memory of Kay Riehl.
