Join Bill and Merilee Clifton \u2013 creationists, authors, Florida Master Naturalists, and science educators \u2013 as\u00a0we focus on Florida birds at Orlando Wetlands Park in East Orange County. According to U.S. Fish and\u00a0Wildlife Service, birding is the number one sport in America! The U.S. has over 51 million birders, and the\u00a0number is growing. On this \u201cIntroduction to Birding\u201d field trip, we will first learn how birds were specifically\u00a0designed by their Creator to do what they do. Next, we will get down to the basics of birding: how to use\u00a0binoculars, how to use a field guide, and how to identify birds. Then, we will take a hike observing birds in\u00a0the wild. Children will have the opportunity to earn a Jr. Birding Certificate through Florida Fish and Wildlife
\nConservation Commission and also how to continue earning advanced birding certificates on their own. Our\u00a0day will include information on birding resources, how to start a bird \u201clife list,\u201d how to use bird alpha codes,\u00a0how to create a backyard habitat for birds, where to see birds around Florida, bird crafts, and more!<\/p>\n
