The Dallas County Conservation Board will offer an opportunity for participants to scout birds with a hike this weekend.

The “April Bird Hike,” will give those willing to attend a beginner class to introduce those willing to learn about the diversity of birds when the seasons transition from winter to spring. Outreach Coordinator Sarah Gilchrist tells Raccoon Valley Radio that this event will be led by bird expert Mike Havlik to improve people’s bird IQ. 

“Every month. He wants to do a hike so you can see what is new this month and also learn how to be an educated birdwatcher. So the March bird hike was at Vose nature area”

The program will be from 8:30 to 10:30am on Saturday at the Voas Nature Area in Minburn. It is free and registration is only necessary to be notified if the event gets canceled. The DCCB will supply binoculars and informational books.
