Birding February is a great time to get out and explore the world of birds. Whether you are a novice or experienced birder, we have something for you! The events below are held at Airlie Gardens. However, Smith Creek, Pages Creek and Hanover Pines Parks are ideal habitats for birding as well.
Bird Walk Enjoy a stroll around the grounds without the crowds while we see what’s flying! While attending the bird walk, you will look for resident and migrating birds and learn basic birding skills. No experience is necessary and all are welcome. Binoculars are available on a first-come first-serve basis. Recommended for ages 12 and up. This program will be held on February 12th from 8:00am-9:30am. Register here: Bird Walk.
