LYME — Lyme Public Library hosts a presentation by the Connecticut Audubon Society/Roger Tory Peterson Estuary Center on  Birding Basics. This event will be held Saturday, Aug. 14 at 10:30 a.m. in person at Lyme Public Library.

In this family-friendly program, participants will learn how to practice bird identification skills using sound, field guides and phone apps. Then the group will take a walk, rain or shine, and put those skills into practice.

Each participant will receive a bird guide to help identify the birds. The program is suitable for ages 6 and up and is limited to 12 children; each child must be accompanied by a parent or guardian (for a total of 24 participants).
