This program will help the beginning bird watcher learn about choosing and using a pair of binoculars. You will also learn how to look at a bird and determine which field marks to look for, to help you identify them correctly. After the indoor portion of this program, we will take a short hike to observe some birds outdoors and learn some techniques to help you find and spot more birds.

Spring is a great time to get outside and capture some photos of the outdoors! Join us for an introductory program where staff will discuss camera tips and tricks and lead a photography hike outside. You'll have the opportunity to pick out and print your favorite photo! This program is designed for beginner and casual photographers and will cover the basic skills using digital cameras. We’ll be providing digital cameras for all to use, but if you prefer, feel free to snap away with your phones too! Just keep in mind, the printer will only work with digital cameras, so if you want to print those awesome memories, make sure to borrow one!
