Birding for Beginners

Are you curious about birds? Birds have been a focus of many of our Warner programs for over 40 years! We will be investigating the sizes, colors, and sounds of birds in this camp. We will build birdhouses to take home, learn how to put them up, and learn how to observe the birds who use them. We will also see wild birds up close during a bird banding demonstration and meet all three of Warner's resident raptors. Binoculars, beginning bird identification books, and all other equipment will be explained and provided. Good birding! CLASS IS FULL! Register for Waitlist

We'll get an even closer look by doing some "catch and release" of these swimming, flying, jumping, running and crawling critters using the nets, bug houses and nature scopes that we will make during class.
