Introduce your kids to the wild world of bluebirds and other native and migratory songbirds of Georgia during this exciting 2-hour outdoor event! Birding guides from GA Audubon will take participants on an interpretive walking tour around the new bluebird trail at Big Haynes Creek Nature Center! The program kicks off with "Birds of a Feather Nest Together" on April 29th from 9am-11am and will offer a close-up look at live nests, tips on how to monitor bluebird houses, tips on how to ID birds in your own backyard, and a discussion on how to become a citizen scientist!
