Birding for Beginners
with Ben Bafaloukos
Tuesday, May 6  |  9 - 10:30am
Blue Ridge Naturalist - Elective
Join us on this birding walk around the NC Arboretum gardens and trails in search of a very common year round resident of North Carolina: Eastern Phoebe. We will take an in-depth look at these aerial acrobats and their typical behavior patterns. Bring your own binoculars but if you do not have a pair we have some loaner binoculars available to use during the program.
This program will take place outside and will follow easy trails and paved walkways. Dress for the weather and prepare to be outside for the entire program time.
