Join the LightHouse Youth Program as we explore the Quarry Lake Recreation Area for our first-ever bird identification hike. During the hike students will not be using binoculars, instead we will use our ears to identify the birds by sound. With help from the Merlin Bird ID Application, we will match the sounds we hear on our hike with recorded sounds from the app.
