Learn how to identify and locate birds with local expert, Greg Harber, at the Cahaba Riverchase Greenway.

Whether you want to start identifying birds at your feeder or at your local park, figuring out how to start birdwatching comes with many questions. Expert Greg Harber will answer all of your questions while you learn birding basics such as bird identification, essential equipment and how to use it, where to go birding, how to keep bird lists, and many more birdy topics!
