Audubon Center Plans Birding Class for Kids




The Pascagoula River Audubon Center has scheduled its summer Kids Birding Class for three weekends in July. The class is designed to introduce young kids to the wonderful world of birding.

The target age is 10 to 14 years of age, but enthusiastic youngsters and older teenagers may attend. Adult supervision for younger kids is required and a special interest in birds preferred.

The three-hour classes are set for 9 a.m. until noon July 10, 17 and 24.

Participants will learn basic bird identification skills and get hands on experience identifying birds in the field. Students will also learn valuable information on feeding and attracting birds to backyards.

Students will receive a “young birders” field guide of Eastern North America and take a trip on the Pascagoula River.

Cost of the course is $50. Class size is limited to 12 students.

To register, call the Pascagoula River Audubon Center at 228-475-0825 or email Mozart Dedeaux at mdedeaux@audubon.orghttp://pascagoulariver.audubon.org/

The Pascagoula River Audubon Center is located on Griffin Road in the Escatawpa community.
