It's that time of year to go birding as a citizen scientist. Join Master Naturalist Randy Smith and Hungry Mother State Park volunteer Mike Evans as they stroll around the park looking for as many birds as possible to identify and record. This event is all about counting birds, but Randy and Mike will also give you lots of interesting information about birds and birding in general. You are also welcome to count birds alone or in your own group, just be sure to record the birds you see. We'll be reporting our findings to Audubon Society eBird.org website. There will be interpreters around the park to assist you with this if necessary.
