Join Greater Arkansas River Nature Association executive director Dominique Naccarato for a fun, experiential introduction to birding in the Upper Arkansas Valley from 8:30-10:30 a.m., Saturday, May 8, at Sands Lake in Salida.
Because you can engage in birding from the car, while hiking or biking, or even alongside serious birders who keep a birding life list, itâs the ideal hobby for nature-lovers of all ages and abilities.
Naccarato will uncover the basics of birding, including how to identify flight patterns, body and beak shape and function and bird sounds. Out in the field you will also get instruction and practice using binoculars and discovering how bird behavior can provide insight into whatâs going on in our neighborhood or ecosystem.
