With Liani Yirka, education program coordinator at Duke Gardens and experienced birder
Build your bird observation skills on a slow stroll through Duke Gardens as you gather a list of different birds that use the Gardens, just in time to participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count taking place Feb. 14-17. If you have ever found yourself wondering about the birds that are flying or singing around you, bring those questions with you to learn together as a group. Bring your own binoculars if you have them (not required) and a sense of curiosity.
Fee: $10; free to Duke Gardens members with code.
Parking: Parking fees apply. Suggested parking is in weekend visitor parking H-lot, accessible from Anderson St. and Yearby Ave.
Location: Meet at the 2000 Lewis St entrance to Duke Gardens; program will take place throughout Duke Gardens.
Format: This program is designed for small groups outdoors using accessible paths of travel.
Please note: Construction for the transformative Garden Gateway Project is underway. Look for parking instructions and meeting location details included in the program reminder email sent the week before each program date. The Doris Duke Center and main visitor parking lots will be closed during construction.
