Description
Gather around the picnic tables for a fun, hands-on exploration of the amazing sounds birds use to communicate, from cheerful chirps to complex calls. Then, head out on a short, guided hike to hear those very sounds echoing through the trees. This relaxed, family-friendly outing invites kids and adults alike to tune their ears to nature's soundtrack and discover the hidden conversations happening all around us. It’s a joyful way to connect with the outdoors, one birdsong at a time.
