## About

Birding Academy educators teach young children and their adults to recognize backyard birds by shape, color and sound, watch which birds visit the center's feeders, and make a bird feeder to take home. Designed for sensory, hands-on learning so even preschoolers can start birding. Each child needs a ticket and must come with an adult; in bad weather the program moves fully indoors.
