Nature Neighbors: Accessible Birding

Join Blandford Nature Center’s Program Educators in this special edition of our Beginner Birding program as we hit Millennium Park’s accessible trails and pathways to discover what birds we can find. While the program is aimed at folks who have done little to no birding before, we also welcome more experienced birders to join and share their knowledge and excitement for this fun pastime! We’ll start with some basic tips for bird identification as well as suggestions for books and phone apps that can be used to assist you on your birding quests. Bring your own binoculars or borrow ours! See how many birds you can find in your local park!
Cost:
