The program is geared for families and is a come and go event designed to create a community with better bird identification skills and promote participants to get involved with local citizen science projects. The workshop is conducted by Kelly McKay with the BioEco Research and Monitoring Center, with assistance from Mark Roberts with Clinton County Conservation, and Brian Ritter and James Wiebler with the Nahant Marsh Education Center.
