This fun and fascinating class is an introduction to many of the amazing birds in our community. Using digital slides and bird song recordings, you will learn the basics of birding
in a supportive environment. You will begin building your basic field skills, learning how to use your field guide and optics and employing useful identification techniques. Weather
permitting, much of the class will involve practical field practice. Please arrive for the first class with your binoculars and field guide, if you have them.
