International Migratory Bird Day: Birding on the Riverfront
Do you think birds aren’t in the city? Think again! First, we’ll learn the basics of birding, then practice some bird ID along the Detroit Riverfront and surrounding area. Mid-May is a great time to see migrant birds as well as those setting up nesting territories in our area. A limited number of binoculars and field guides will be available for loan. ¬ Dress for the weather.
FEE: Included with the price of admission.

A limited number of binoculars and field guides will be available for loan.
