Join the Open Space Division on a birding adventure! Learn how to identify common species and the best locations around the city to spot our feathered friends. You can practice using binoculars of your own or we will loan you a pair, along with a field guide. This guided walk will include experts from the Bird Alliance of Central New Mexico helping participants practice their new skills. The group will leave from the parking area at the designated start time for a roughly one-mile walk around the park or open space. Foothills walks include moderate hiking. Beginning and experienced birders of all ages are welcome! Seated and stationary birding will also be available. 

Event will be hosted at Elena Gallegos, 7100 Tramway Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87122 at the Double Shelter
When you arrive, please let park staff know you are attending an education program so your entrance fee can be waived. After entering, proceed to the right (south) and follow the loop until you reach the Double Shelter.
