SUMMARY:Birding for the Visually Impaired
DESCRIPTION:Join a naturalist as we practice our skills by using our ears instead of our eyes to see who has flown in during the spring migration. We will be walking the paved 0.25-mile Maple Loop Trail\, stopping periodically to listen for warblers\, orioles\, wood thrush or indigo buntings. We will hone our skills prior to the walk in the nature center\, using recorded calls so when we get out on the trail\, we will know what to listen for.
