Description
Birdwatching is one of the fastest-growing recreational activities in North America—and this program shows you why.
Designed for beginners, the Joy of Birdwatching takes a slower, more intentional approach to the outdoors: walking mindfully, paying close attention to sound and movement, and truly watching birds rather than simply counting them.
With an experienced guide leading the way, explore a variety of North Shore habitats, learning to identify species by sight and behavior while discovering what makes each one worth a longer look.
