Birding for Beginners

Description

This program covers everything a first-time birder needs to build confidence: how to use binoculars, what to listen for, and which birds you're most likely to encounter at Ipswich River in late fall. After a brief indoor introduction, the group heads outside to put those skills to work on the sanctuary's trails.

By the end of the class, you'll have the tools and confidence to start finding birds on your own, along with a new appreciation for the species that call Ipswich River home.
