Join us for some self-guided citizen science!
February 13th-16th, the garden is a destination for the 2026 Great Backyard Bird Count, as a self guided, all ages activity in collaboration with the National Audubon Society and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. This citizen science project helps tracks bird population worldwide.
No need to sign up, however we do recommend downloading the Merlin Bird ID App or eBird on your phone and make sure to select our region to help match bird songs with accuracy. Merlin works for tracking your sightings, but eBird is preferred.
Both eBird and Merlin come highly recommended to anyone interested in learning more about birds, and both are free.

$40 per person, Registration required | Two hours of guided birding through the garden before it opens to the public. Our focus will be on birding by ear, getting acquainted with the unique songs and calls of our spring birds as well as their ID marks. The birds will ultimately decide our focus, however, and we will be flexible to what they have to offer. The pace will be slow and deliberate. We will make many stops and take time to ensure that everyone has a chance to see and/or hear the bird. Beginners welcome!
