Bird DVD author Joe LaFleur will lead a bird walk and program at Pennyrile Forest State Park in Dawson Springs next month.
From 9 to 10 a.m. on April 6 and Bird Walk & Program will be held at the state forest. Join LaFleur for a free guided bird walk along Clifty Creek. The walk features hands-on identification of resident and migrant birds in habitats like woodlands, shrubby areas, riparian areas, creek and lake. Beginners are welcome. Meet at the lodge lobby.
Then, from 10 to 10:30 a.m., LaFleur will provide a free audiovisual program about common spring migrants. The program will help you identify birds by sight and sound and will also review preferred habitats where each species is likely to be encountered. Meet at the private dining room in the lodge.
The program is for ages 10 and up. Bring binoculars and good walking shoes.
