April 23rd Bird Watching Basics Have you ever tried to identify a bird, but forgot what the bird looked like as soon as you googled it? Do you get overwhelmed when you page through your field guide? Do you just want to refresh your basic birding skills? Jackie Augustine, the Executive Director for Audubon of Kansas, has been bird-watching for 25 years. She will talk about how to identify birds by sight, behavior, and location, demonstrate proper use of binoculars, and talk about how apps and field guides can help beginning bird watchers. We will start indoors learning how to identify birds by a bird feeder, and then apply our newly-acquired skills on a short bird walk. Attendees should bring their binoculars, field guides, or bird identification cell phone apps and be prepared for an optional walk outside. We will gather at Lakewood Discovery Center in Salina. The program will begin at 9:00 am
