Beginning to Bird: Backyard Birds and Project FeederWatch (Adult Program)

Beginning to Bird is designed for ages 11 and up

Description: Ijams' Beginning to Bird program helps you take or re-take your first steps into the world of bird watching. This month, you'll spend time with familiar backyard birds. You'll dive a bit into the lives of these birds we see every day, and learn about Project FeederWatch and how feeding birds can help science.

Materials Participants Should Bring: Good walking shoes, water, binoculars (Ijams can provide binoculars as needed), journal, something to write with, and bird field guide if you have one.

Information to Note: This is a bird walk and you will go on trails with roots, rocks, and some elevation change. Arrive ready to walk approximately .75 to 1 mile.

Directions: This program meets outside the Ijams Visitor Center on the main plaza.

No walk-ins will be accepted. Every participant must have a ticket. Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

Ijams awards full refunds for any cancellations up to 7 days before a program, or if Ijams cancels a program due to inclement weather. Refunds are not awarded for programs with fees of $5 or less for any reason. Tickets are non-transferable.
