Bird Is a Verb: An Introduction to Birding
Mar 31 @ 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm

  • Presentation: Bird Is a Verb: An Introduction to Birding
  • Presented by Conococheague Audubon members Ron George and Tracy Snyder

If you love learning about the natural world and spending time outdoors, come learn about the many joys and challenges of birding, including why we don’t call it “bird watching” anymore and why you should go birding!

Learn how to identify different species, including the tools you need, when and where to look for birds, the keys to observing birds, and the importance of listening to bird calls.

Along the way, you’ll see original photos of one hundred different species–almost all of them taken here in South Central Pennsylvania. This is just a sample of the amazing variety of birds that live in, pass through, and wander into our part of the world!

Location: Blue Ridge Summit Library. Located at 13676 Monterey Lane
