Beginners Bird Walk- Bethine Church Trail

            

Join Golden Eagle Audubon Society for this beginner-friendly bird walk along the Bethine Church River Trail. This is a seasonal opportunity to learn about riparian habitat and focus on local birds, plants, and stewardship efforts in the area. Participants help GEAS keep the trail clean by picking up litter along the way. Expect to see songbirds, waterfowl, woodpeckers, herons ,and kingfishers.This bird walk is targeted towards beginner birders, so if you are brand-new to birding, this is the class for you! GEAS will cover basics like adjusting your binoculars, how to use field guides, and tips & tricks to identifying birds.
