Birdwatching for Beginners

  • Powderhorn Park 3400 15th Avenue South Minneapolis, MN, 55407 United States (map)

This outing is appropriate for people new to birding or with limited experience, although all birders are welcome. We will start with a binocular demonstration, short introduction to bird ID, and will discuss strategies for finding birds. Loaner binoculars will be available to anyone who needs them. Individuals under 16 years must be accompanied by an adult.

We will meet in front of the Powderhorn Park rec center.

Accessibility description: There is a ramp accessible from the main parking lot in front of the recreation center. The path is a concrete sidewalk with buckling in some places. The path around the lake is a little less than 1 mile; depending on where the birds are, we may not complete a full loop.

Registration for this free event is required.
