Beginning Birding: Urban Birds of Kalamazoo (in-person)
w. Seth Chapman

Join experienced birder Seth Chapman on a special evening bird hike through Kleinstuck Preserve!

The phrase "The early bird gets the worm" rings true when it comes to birding (birds are generally most active in the early morning hours), but evening bird hikes can be just as rewarding.

For this evening edition of Beginning Birding, we will begin with a brief discussion on the American Goldfinch before heading out to the trails of Kleinstuck Preserve. After the discussion, you will have the information needed to identify this bird on your own, as well as other interesting facts and information.

During our hike, we will attune to our surroundings, looking and listening to the many species of birds that grace our presence. What can we learn by observing our feathered friends? In contemplation, we will deepen our understanding of ourselves and the environment around us.

Come to hike in community, sharpen your identification skills, build your life list, and expand your bird knowledge! All skill levels are welcome.

Registration covers one adult, and individual registrations are non-shareable between two or more individuals. Birders 10 and under are welcome to attend free of charge. This hike will take place rain or shine.

⁠Please bring a pair of binoculars and a travel mug for complimentary chai.⁠
