FRANKFORT, Ky. - If you've ever wondered what is singing that sweet
morning song, then join us at the Salato Wildlife Education Center in
Frankfort for an introductory workshop on the basics of birding from 1 -
4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20. 

Birding is a challenging way to increase your awareness of our natural
wildlife. We will introduce you to the basic tools, give you ideas for
where to go birding and help you with identification techniques.
Participants will review a brief slide show of some common resident
birds before trying out their skills. We will provide binoculars, but
you can bring your own if you prefer. The cost of the program is $10.
Registration and pre-payment are required.

The Salato Center, which reopens for the season Feb. 16, has a variety
of native animals for the public to see, including a black bear,
bobcats, elk, deer, bison, eagles, snakes and fish. The center has
numerous indoor exhibits and miles of hiking trails open to the public.
Fishing is available at two lakes. While some programs may require a
registration fee, general admission to the Salato Center is free.

Fish and Wildlife Resources, is located at the department's headquarters
