Let's Go Birding — Backyard Birds and Beyond

Let’s Go Birding

“Your new Let’s Go Birding program was excellent. As a sometimes struggling (trying to learn so much) birder you reinforced all the tools that help us become better at this wonderful hobby. These tools apply wether we are the backyard birder or expanding our bird world by exploring beyond our home.
You logically and enthusiastically explained all the available resources for a Birders Toolbox. It was great to have all this information available in one spot. Even though I was already aware of them, it took me time researching and finding them on my own.
Thank you again.” - Lorri W. - Muskegon program participant
