Bird Calls of the Piedmont at Prairie Ridge Ecostation

Unlock the fascinating language of nature during this exclusive morning bird walk designed for participants ages eight and older. Join our expert naturalists at the Prairie Ridge Ecostation as we explore how local avian species utilize complex vocalizations to communicate within their habitat. This session provides a unique opportunity to sharpen your listening skills and master the identification of diverse bird calls found throughout the Piedmont region.

Beyond simply listening, you will discover how your observations directly contribute to critical collaborative science initiatives dedicated to mapping biodiversity and soundscapes in Raleigh. This event also serves as our exciting launch for the annual City Nature Challenge. We will embark on a leisurely guided walk, so please arrive prepared for the weather in comfortable footwear. While we encourage you to bring your own binoculars, we are pleased to provide loaner pairs to ensure everyone can get a clear view. Space is limited for this immersive outdoor experience, and registration is required to secure your spot. Register online today to join us for an educational morning of discovery and citizen science in the heart of nature.
