Introduction to Birding Workshop
Sat, May 10
|South Kortright
This workshop, co-sponsored by the John Burroughs Natural History Society, will introduce various aspects of birding. Once referred to as birdwatching, birding is an activity that is as challenging as a personal “sport,” as well as a mode of grounding one’s spirit with nature.

South Kortright, Scott Rd, South Kortright, NY 13842, USA
