Birding Expedition: Blue Spruce County Park

Sat., November 14 | 8:30 – 11:30 am | Members: $50; Non-Members: $55 | Meet Blue Spruce County Park

Make your own magical woodland moment come to life with a trip to Blue Spruce County Park. Meet up with National Aviary Educator and Photographer Mike Faix and Ornithologist Robert Mulvihill for a morning of birdwatching…and chickadee feeding! Birders and animal-lovers will be able to hone bird identification skills, while younger families with birding beginners can learn the basics as you explore one of Western Pennsylvania’s most beautiful locations.

Join us for this very special Indiana County birding experience, where adorable chickadees have been taught to land on the outstretched fingertips of bird watchers of all ages for scrumptious sunflower seeds! Having birds land on your hand for a seasonal snack is a very special and memorable experience for ALL ages that you don’t want to miss! Of course, November is near the height of fall bird migration, so Bob and Mike will also lead you on a park exploration in search of waterfowl and other traveling species. Both experts are experienced birding and education expert who will be able to provide interesting information and birding tales appealing to kids and adults alike.

Birding Expeditions are open to participants 6 years and older. Those under 18 must be accompanied by a registered adult. Bring your own binoculars, or borrow an Aviary pair that we’ll help you use!
