Participants will learn birding basics in the classroom before heading outside for the bird count. Experienced birders from the Ozark Gateway Audubon Society Chapter and MDC staff will lead mentored birding experiences with the participants. The morning will end with a tally of total birds observed. Remember to bring your binoculars, if you have some, dress for the weather and be prepared for an easy to moderate rated hike.
