Have you always wanted to learn about birding but never found the time?  Here is your opportunity.  The course is designed for beginning- and intermediate-level birders.  In the first session, we’ll discuss birds and their identification, songs, habitat preferences, and the use of optics in birding. In the following sessions, we’ll practice birding techniques and bird song identification.  This involves moderate walking.  If it rains, the class will be held indoors.

LIMITED REGISTRATION: 12
