You’ve decided birding sounds interesting and you’d like to give it a try—but what do you do next? This fun, easy, and welcoming introductory workshop is designed to help you take your very first steps into birding with confidence. These free field trips require no registration, making them an easy, low-commitment way to explore a new hobby.
Expert guides will walk participants through the basics of birding, including how to use binoculars, simple bird identification tips, and how to begin noticing birds wherever you are. The experience moves at a relaxed pace, with time spent indoors watching birds at feeders and a short, easy walk outside the visitors center to practice what you’ve learned.
​
These trips are accessible, family-friendly, and ideal for beginners of all ages, especially those who are curious about birds but aren’t sure where to start. Loaner binoculars will be available, and guides will offer recommendations for helpful birding apps and field guides so you can continue learning long after the trip ends. Whether you’re brand new to birding or just looking for a gentle introduction, this is the perfect place to begin.
