Basic binoculars will be provided.
If you’re interested in investing in a more powerful pair, I recommend the Nikon Action 10x50 binoculars, which can be purchased on Amazon.

If you’re interested in birding on your own, I recommend “The Sibley Field Guide to Birds of Eastern North America”, also available on Amazon:
If you’re interested in starting your own Life List, please ask me about eBird, Cornell University’s online birding log.

Group Leader
Lori Rios
Lori Rios has a passion for birding, with a current Life List of 223 species. She has had a deep appreciation for these living pieces of God’s art, since her childhood. Their ability to fly reminds her of the freedom that Christ bought for us. While a chiropractor by trade, she spends much of her free time traveling, hiking, and birding outdoors, or playing games, like Wingspan, when indoors. It is her desire to instill a passion for birding in others through the Bird Nirds Connect Group.
