Through hands-on practice, you'll enhance your ability to recognize different bird calls with the help of these visual aids. Then, take part in a guided bird walk where you'll apply your new skills to identify vocalizing birds in their natural habitat, deepening your understanding of their communication.

Instructions
Participants will meet in the auditorium at the start of the program. Please dress appropriately for a short hike, keeping the weather in mind. The trails are generally moderate in grade, but some areas may be steeper and feature rough terrain.
For the best experience, we recommend bringing binoculars and a smartphone with the Merlin Bird ID app and/or Spectroid (for Android) or SpectrumView (for iPhone) to help identify birds and analyze their songs during the walk.
