Participants will learn identification techniques while spotting birds. All experience levels are welcome. Binoculars will be provided. Organizers suggest participants download Merlin Bird ID and eBird, but the apps are not required. Insect spray and closed-toe shoes recommended because Farview is a rustic nature park.
