T4C: Teens for Conservation
Winter Birds & Birding 101
10:00am-11:30 am
Did you know that over the course of a year, birders regularly spot
between 100-200 different species of birds in Connecticut? Take this
chance to improve your birding skills when local teens and Audubon
naturalists try their hands at finding and identifying many of our local
birds. The group will start with an introduction to birding by Ted
Gilman and then hit the trails with loaner binoculars and field guides.
