Scientists need YOUR help in studying birds everywhere, including your own backyard! Join us for an introduction to ornithology, the study of birds. You’ll learn how to recognize the birds that call western North Carolina home in the fall and winter, and how to join our crew of ecoEXPLORERS- kids who submit observations of plants and animals for scientists to study and earn prizes while they do it. Participants will receive a free pair of binoculars to aid their exploration, and upon registering as a participant at www.ecoexplore.net, receive an ecoEXPLORE patch.

Find out how you can earn your ornithology badge and a free pass to Great Backyard Bird Count Day at The N.C. Arboretum on February 11 and help ornithologists band and release songbirds. This free program is for ages 8 to 13, but all ages are welcome to attend.
