Homeschool Bird Walk Series

Hands-on outdoor learning led by a local birding expert

The Homeschool Bird Walk Series brings students outdoors to explore birds, habitats, and seasonal changes through guided field experiences. Each walk encourages curiosity, observation, and connection to nature in a relaxed, engaging setting.

All homeschool bird walks are personally led by Charles, founder of Holy City Birding.
