Discovery Day- Intro to Birding & CPR Certification

  • The Discovery Center 3401 Reservoir Drive Philadelphia United States (map)

Intro to Birding 8am, 10am, 1pm

Audubon Mid-Atlantic is offering an Intro to Birding workshop dedicated to Winter Birds. 

You may think that winter and cold weather is not an ideal time to birdwatch. But here in the Mid-Atlantic region, our waterways come to life in the winter as ducks from further north come south looking for open water. Amazing species that can only be found in the winter like to make our reservoir a home away from home. 
Join Damien Ruffner as he teaches you the in's and out's of birding. What equipment do you need? Where can you get started? Are there groups like me out there that can support me as I begin my birding adventure? We'll answer all these questions and more during these exciting workshops!
