Urbana High School Students Learn the Joy of Birding

Zak Sutton points out a bird to students in Urbana High School’s new Outdoor Adventure Club.

This past Thursday, CCAS Conservation Chair Zak Sutton led a short bird walk for Urbana High School’s new Outdoor Adventure Club at Carle Park. Students used the new binoculars recently purchased by CCAS to increase access to birding with upgraded optics. (The new binoculars are available for anyone to use during Sunday Morning Bird Walks.) The students had a great time! Birds weren’t very active during the walk, Zak reports, but everyone loved the male Northern Cardinal and the male American Redstart that were spotted!
