Birds are all around us. Want to learn more about the feathered friends in your neighborhood or yard?

Learn more about how to identify birds, learn more about the species near you, gather helpful resources to start your birding journey, get hands-on practice with binoculars, and more at the Birding Basics class held at the Tukwila Community Center on May 8! WDFW's Watchable Wildlife Coordinator will be presenting about Birding 101 followed by nearly an hour of birding. 

All skillsets and abilities are welcome. Binoculars are provided but bring your own if you have them so you can practice tuning them in!

What to bring: Wear comfortable clothes and a water bottle. This workshop will start in the classroom and then walk the campus of the Tukwila Community Center. Bring binoculars if you have them. 

Where to meet: Tukwila Community Center- check in at the front desk.
