Birding class set for June 17

Area residents are invited to join an outdoor educational adventure in mid-June to learn about birding.

It will be a chance to learn tips and methods, explore a few different habitats on private land, and learn how to spot and identify local and migrating birdlife. The class will meet at the Venture Inn in Libby, at 1015 U.S. 2 at 9 a.m. Mountain Time.

Participants are asked to come prepared for the day with full gas tanks, lunch, water, binoculars, field guidebooks, spotting scopes, good footwear, natural earth tone color or camouflage clothing and cameras.

Class is sponsored by Libby Base Camp Hostel; participants must register and pay a nominal registration fee. Adults only, young adults with a sincere interest 16 years and older welcome with an adult parent or guardian.

The class includes vehicle tours with roadside stops and a few short hikes less than half-mile roundtrip.
