Description
Attention birders! Have you ever wanted the opportunity to observe migrating birds at night? Look no further than the Eagle Creek Ornithology Center's nocturnal migrant program! Each fall, hundreds of species of songbirds make the perilous journey from their Canadian breeding grounds, to the jungles of South America.
Join Eagle Creek Ornithology Center naturalist, Aidan Rominger, on Wednesday, September 18th, from 7:00pm-8:30pm where he will go through how to properly ID many of these migrating songbird species at night, by listening to flight calls given by each species. He will also go into depth on how to best view these migrating songbirds under the stars! The first half of the class will be inside in the classroom, and the second half will be held in the field to listen for any migrating songbirds, as well as see if we can view them flying past the moon using a scope and binoculars. Binoculars provided for participants.
For ages 10 and up. $10/adult, youth FREE! Please register both adults and youth. Park admission included.
