Join the Eno River Association and New Hope Bird Alliance for an early morning birding session at the Confluence Natural Area. Afterward, learn from birding expert Tom Driscoll about the basics (and some expert tips) for bird identification. The summer migration should be in full swing, so this is a great opportunity to observe less common species!

Bring water and snacks(if you like). Please bring binoculars if you have them. We will bring extra pairs to borrow if needed.

Suggested ages 16 and up.

Limited to 15 participants.
