7/8 What makes a Bird

“WHAT MAKES A BIRD?”

Saturday, July 8, 9:30 to 10:30 a.m.

Millions of people all over the world enjoy watching and identifying birds and learning to identify your neighborhood birds is a great way to connect to nature while building observation skills. Pascagoula River Audubon Center Education Manager Katie Fetzer will introduce participants to the four clues to bird ID: size and shape, color pattern, behavior, and habitat. Afterwards, we will put our observation skills to use and go on a bird walk around the property. It’s fun to be able to name unknown birds, and even the most novice birders can enjoy success from the start! Limited to 20 participants. Bring binoculars if you have them. Loaner binoculars will be available. Best suited to children ages 8 and up. Children must be accompanied by parent or guardian. Non-member adults $6; non-member child (under 12) $3. Member adults $2, member child $1. Call 601-799-2311 to sign up.
