Ever wonder who that beautiful bird was flitting around the feeder or singing from a perch nearby? Spend a fun morning with local naturalist LuAnn Craighton to get a handle on bird-watching basics! You'll learn to use binoculars effectively, understand how to choose and use a field guide, discover what features to actually look for to identify an unknown feathered friend and get to know some of the common birds living in our area.
