People sing. Birds sing. Whether the singer is human or avian, the song is composed of common elements such as pitch, rhythm, and tempo. Using examples of songs you may hear in your own neighborhood or nature spots in Burlington County, this presentation will
help you focus on the various parts of a bird\u2019s song so that you will be able to identify birds by their songs. </div>

This inclusive and accessible family-friendly outing follows along a mowed 0.5 mile meadow trail at the Pinelands Preservation Alliance's Bishop Farmstead. The farm is a picturesque location perfect for birding opportunities as the site has a mixture of open
meadow and tree line habitats. This farm is a good place to get long, clear looks at birds because of the relative openness. It is also a nice place to know about, especially because of its quick and easy access to birding for almost anyone.</div>

Accessibility Information: The total length of this route is 0.5 miles. The trail is a round-trip route that follows flat, even mowed grass terrain. There are minor changes in elevation encountered on this trip. The trail is a minimum of six feet wide. The
general trail surfaces are compacted soils, which will allow for rugged terrain wheelchair access. The runtime of the event is estimated to be 2 hours. While there are no benches on the trail, there are benches on the property to sit, relax and listen to the
sounds of nature. There are 5 ADA-compliant parking spaces on site, and plenty of additional parking. There are accessible bathrooms in the restored barn.</div>
