Saturday Bird Programs at Sinnemahoning to Kick of Week of Birding
Saturday Bird Programs at Sinnemahoning State Park to Kick Off Week of Birding
Come to Sinnemahoning State Park this Saturday, May 7th, for Bird Bonanza, a day focused on birding! This bird-themed day kicks off the park’s participation in a statewide Spring Migration Round Up competition. In Spring Migration Round-Up, participating parks have a friendly competition see which ones have the widest variety of bird species. Help Sinnemahoning State Park record as many species as possible, while contributing to the study of birds! Park visitors who wish to participate are encouraged to go birding at Sinnemahoning State Park, or any participating park, as often as they like from May 7th to May 15th. Submit a checklist or a record of your observations through eBird or paper checklists available at the Wildlife Center. For a list of parks participating in Spring Migration Round-Up, please visit our Facebook page.
The first program of Saturday’s Bird Bonanza is a guided walk with the park naturalist. Lots of warblers and other songbirds are passing through or beginning to nest nearby, take advantage of active morning birds with a bird walk! Walk will be from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM. Meet at the Wildlife Center for a 1 to 2 mile walk along the Lowlands Trail. Walk will be on a mostly level, gravel surface. All bird-watching abilities welcome, from beginners to experts alike. Binoculars will be available to borrow.
If you’re new to birding and want some help getting started, come to our Birding Basics for Beginners program from 12 PM to 12:45 PM. This easy-paced program will take things slow, and go over helpful identification and bird-finding tips. Beginners encouraged! All ages welcome, binoculars will be available to borrow. After reviewing basics, follow up with a short bird walk outside around the Wildlife Center. Meet at the Wildlife Center Classroom.
Wrap up the day with a family friendly, interactive bird activity. Stop by the Wildlife Center Classroom from 1PM to 2 PM to explore bird beaks and learn why bird beaks have so many different shapes. This program is geared towards families with children ages 4 to 12.
Hope to see you in the park this Saturday, and maybe even out birding through the next week!
