 Jacques Nuzzo, program director for the Illinois Raptor Center, will
lead adult participants through their first steps to birding and
bird identification.
Participants will learn how to use and care for binoculars and
identification guides. Participants will also practice birding with
setup scenarios using the IRC's Wildlife Ambassador live birds of
prey. Winding up the event will be a birding hike into the Sangamon
River flood plain.
The cost is $35, which includes a field ID guide.
Proceeds from the event support the Illinois Raptor Center's
wildlife hospital.
To register, call 217-963-6909 or email
