"National Go Birding Day" virtual panel discussion

From looking for grassland birds at Midewin National Tallgrass Praire to planting a prairie garden at home, this program will address ways to help increase natural habitat for important bird species. We hope that this program can be your “go-kit” for getting out into the great outdoors and birdwatching this coming weekend and throughout the year. When and where might you see birds at Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie? How do you look for birds? How do you identify them? With new mobile applications, identifying a bird is just a screen-tap away on your smartphone. We will hear about some of the more popular applications and why birdwatchers like them.
