Beginning Birding for Botanists

We've all been there. You're walking through the woods, admiring the spring ephemeral flowers but are regularly distracted by the equally vibrant splash of color hopping through the branches above. You know you're looking at migrating birds and not much beyond that. But how do you get beyond that?

Well the experts from Chicago Ornithological Society have got you covered! Join us as we walk through the basics of birding from a botanists perspective; helpful resources, ID tips, what to look for when and where, bird/plant associations, and so much more. Chances are you know a lot more about birds than you think but this program will reinforce what you know and get you well on your way to knowing your local birds like, well, a birder!

All are welcome to attend this free event but rsvp is required.
