Beginning To Bird: Woodpeckers (Adult Program)

Beginning to Bird is designed for ages 11 and up

Description: Ijams Beginning to Bird helps you as you take or re-take your first steps into the world of bird watching. This month we are drilling down into woodpeckers. These large charismatic birds are easy to spot in the hardwood forest of East TN., and frequently come to backyard suet feeders. You'll leave with so much woodpecker knowledge, it will feel like you were the one bashing your head into a tree.

Materials Participants Should Bring: Good walking shoes, water, binoculars (Ijams can provide binoculars as needed), and bird field guide

Information to Note: This is a bird walk and we will go on trails with roots, rocks, and some elevation change. Arrive ready to walk approximately .75 miles.

Directions: We will meet outside the Ijams Visitor Center on the main plaza.

 No walk-in’s will be accepted. Every participant must have a ticket. Children under 18 years must be accompanied by an adult

 Ijams awards full refunds for any cancellations up to 7 days before a program, or if Ijams cancels a program due to inclement weather. Refunds are not awarded for programs with fees of $5 or less for any reason. Tickets are non-transferable.
