7/19/2025 - Tech-assisted Birding Whether you are new to birding or a pro, technology can help you identify birds. Join this guided bird hike where we will use the app Merlin by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology to help us identify and learn more about the birds at the Bent.

Binoculars will be provided for folks without their own to borrow for the entirety of the hike. The hike is $15 per person, and registration is required.
