Join educators as we participate in the 28th annual Great Backyard Bird Count! This interactive experience is perfect for bird lovers of all ages and skill levels! Participants will identify and count local birds in order to help create a real-time snapshot of where they are migrating and living. The Great Backyard Bird Count takes place across the country, and helps avian researchers gather information to better protect wild birds for the future! This program is FREE, but registration is required. If you plan to explore the zoo after the program, zoo admission is required.
