Birding by Sound Workshop
Join Dawn Huss, Oxbow's resident restoration specialist and bird enthusiast, for a delightful morning walk along Oxbow's trails as we tune into the songs of various birds. Before we set out, Dawn will discuss essential tools that help inform bird identification by sound. If you have binoculars, bring them along; we also have a few pairs available for sharing. Additionally, consider bringing a portable bird guide or downloading an app like Merlin or Audubon to enrich your learning experience.
This workshop is intended for all ages. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
