Whether you're a seasoned birder or just getting started, this is a great opportunity to explore the park, sharpen your birding skills, and contribute valuable data to bird conservation efforts. Bring your binoculars, a field guide, and your enthusiasm for birds!All participants are asked to download the iNaturalist app before their workshop date and create a free account.
iNaturalist will be a key tool we use during our BioBlitz!
