BECKER — Join other outdoor enthusiasts on the second and fourth Thursdays of the month from now through June, for bird walks at the Sherburne History Center, located at 10775 27th Ave SE in Becker.

The hikes, which started April 11 and end June 27, run from 9 to 11 a.m. The next one will be held Thursday, April 25.

Hosted by Minnesota Master Naturalist Dean Kleinhans, this program will focus on birding techniques and the importance of habitat and phenology. Use of binoculars, spotting scopes, cameras and cell phone apps will be covered.

Kleinhans has over two decades experience leading and helping with bird surveys and tours in this area, primarily at Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge. Dress appropriately for a two-hour hike along mostly gravel and dirt/grass trails. The pace of the hike will be matched to the group and trails are not strenuous.
