Become a Bird Watcher
This class is for people who are interested in participating in the City's spring citywide bird survey. Participants in the survey can adopt a site, where they will record the birds they see and hear. Experienced birders can be paired with new birders to help with identification skills.
Surveys are relatively short, should only take a couple hours each month, and can be scheduled at times best for the participants.
