Where “Birdwatching and Birding” finishes, “Let’s Go Birding” opens up more outdoor experiences. It looks at how visiting different habitats reveals different birds, and how birding becomes a reason to get outside and explore.
What the program covers
Greg says, “Most bird species are habitat specific. The process of seeing different birds allows me to see both the birds and all the amazing habitats around us. My goal is to convey my enthusiasm for the birds and the outdoors to the audience.” Informative handouts are provided to participants.
