Beginning Birding

Chinsegut Conservation Center, 23212 Lake Lindsey Rd, Brooksville, FL, United States

Learn to identify birds or hone your existing birding skill. We meet on the deck behind the Conservation Center building to watch the feeders for birds. A short hike to the wetland at May's Prairie, where we can see more species, is optional. Binoculars will be available for use, but please bring your own if you have them. Make reservations with Tom: tomstclair8@gmail.com or 904-303-0919.
