Spotlight on the Mull Covered Bridge

Big Bird Year

This program will be offered each month throughout 2022. The term "big year" in birding is a reference for challenging yourself to see as many bird species in one year as possible. The species you see or hear also needs to be documented by at least one other person for it to count. If you are new to birding or want to take on this challenge with others, join naturalist Debbie Haubert each month for a bird hike. The hikes will rotate through various habitats to give us the best opportunity for a high species count. Registration is required. Please bring your own binoculars.
