April is prime migration season as the birds make their way back north. This gives us the opportunity to see some species that only spend time in Minnesota as they head to their summer habitats further north. Join us for a bird photography lecture and photo hike where volunteer naturalist Don will share tips on capturing photos that go beyond the typical "bird on a stick." He will also discuss tools for researching bird behavior and equipment required for bird photography.
