Birdwatching for Beginners @ Grange Insurance Audubon Center
Apr 3 @ 10:00 am – 11:30 am
If you’ve wondered what birdwatching is about, but can’t even see a bird in a pair of binoculars, this is for you. Bring your binoculars or use ours. We’ll teach you tricks to start or improve upon a fun hobby. Weather permitting, we’ll go on a short hike or ‘arm chair’ bird watch.
Our Birdwatching for Beginners event is free but, due to Covid-19 pandemic, participants must register ahead of time at the Grange Insurance Audubon Center Eventbrite link at https://www.eventbrite.com/…/grange-insurance-audubon…
For more information, please contact Allison Clark, Education Program Manager at the Grange Insurance Audubon Center (614-545-5482
