What’s that in my tree? Who’s making that sound? They may be everywhere, but how do I see them better? If you’re interested in birding but don’t know where to start, this workshop is for you!

The workshop will introduce skills and information to increase your joy of birds and start your birding journey.

Part One's evening classroom session will cover different types of birds and techniques for identifying them, tips on choosing and using optics, how to use a field guide, get the most out of online resources, and much more.

Part Two's field trip will take place amidst several types of habitat, and provide a hands-on birding experience at one of Florida’s best birding hot spots. We will observe the surroundings, fine-tune our optics, get our eyes on a bird, and practice the tools you need to identify what’s in the scope!

Birding at Lake Apopka is simply world-class. Over 300 species are possible in diverse restored wetlands, accessible via the popular Wildlife Drive and numerous trails making it a premier Florida birding hotspot for all skill levels.

It takes time to build identification skills, discern different sounds and behaviors, but connecting with other birders and getting out into the field can sustain wellbeing and become a hobby for life.
