Birding with the Kids The month of May is the perfect time to get outdoors and try the fastest growing hobby in the country - birding. Bring some binoculars, your favorite field guide and we will look for some common birds to get you started. Explore the wildlife refuge as you learn about using optics, spotting birds and get tips on how to identify them. Dress for the weather and wear sturdy, closed toe shoes.
