MOSS POINT -- The second session of the summer Kids Birding Class will be held Saturday at the Pascagoula River Audubon Center on Griffin Road. The class is set for 9 a.m. to noon July 17 and on July 24.
Director Mark LaSalle said Audubon personnel are excited about the birding class for elementary and teenage students.
He said the class is designed to introduce young kids, ages 10 to 14 years old, to the wonderful world of birding. Enthusiastic youngsters and older teenagers also are welcome, but adult supervision is required for the younger children, and a special interest in birds is preferred.
"Participants will learn basic bird identification skills and get hands on experience identifying birds in the field," said LaSalle. "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/
