Kevin O’Malley, lead naturalist and birder at South Sound Nature School, will teach a birding basics class along with Rainier Audubon member Barbara Petersen. The class is for beginner and intermediate birders wanting to further their knowledge and skills and will focus on identification and behavior of winter birds found at Billy Frank Jr Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge. Join us for this outdoor walk the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Birding is a fascinating recreational activity. You will learn more about the birds you hear and see. The Nisqually Refuge has forest, wetland, and tidal estuary habitats offering great bird diversity. Binoculars are recommended but not required. This small class is geared toward ages 16 and up, a great outing for family members visiting for the holiday.
