YNC - Birding Basics
By YoungNaturalists @ 12:51 PM :: 167 Views :: 0 Comments ::

YNC is a nature focused program with the goal of teaching children (primarily aged 5-10) and their families about nature. YNC membership kits and Explorer Days provide educational resources and opportunities for activities that promote being outdoors, observing nature, scientific investigation, environmental stewardship, and healthy living.

Our next Explorer Day is on December 11th from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm at Emily Murphy Park near the University!

This event will feature a guided River Valley stroll, led by Loreley from the Wild Bird General Store. We will learn about the basics of "birding", how to spot birds and how to tell what kind they are. Along the way we will feed the chicka-dees and look for other signs of animal activity (think Stalking and Tracking). Bring binoculars and bird field guides if you have them. If not, they will be provided! This event would be a great place to use your bronze level field guide.
