PROGRAM FULL: Birding & Beans: Bear Creek Greenbelt

Join Audubon Master Birder Jordan Gerue on a free birding field trip through Bear Creek Greenbelt's stream, woodland, and grassland habitats. After birding, all participants are invited to an optional social hour at a nearby coffee shop. We will bird for 2-3 hours and have coffee for 1 hour.

**Note that Bear Creek Greenbelt is a free park and is *not* the same as the paid Bear Creek Lake Park.
