Ranger Workshop - Backyard Birding

Birding is an activity that can be done by anyone at any age. Most birders start out by identifying common birds found at their backyard bird feeders. During this workshop you will learn how to point out key characteristics, such as size, coloration, and activity, that can help you identify common backyard bird species, specifically species that visit bird feeders. By using applications like Audubon and Merlin, along with identification guides, you will be able to use those key characteristics to help you identify common species found here in the High Country. Binoculars are not required, but highly recommended, and there will be a quick lesson on how to properly use binoculars.  

This program will be led by Ranger Amelia from Grandfather Mountain State Park.
