Birding is a fun, rewarding hobby — but can be a bit intimidating to get into! This Beginning Birders event is designed to give you an easy, welcoming entry-point to birding. We will walk slowly through the Arboretum, looking and listening for birds, identifying the ones we find, and talking about how to tell them apart. No pressure, no judgement, just fun!
