Beginning Birding Clinic

If you can’t tell your egrets from your cormorants this class is for you! We’ll learn about binoculars, identification books, and other birding basics through hands-on activities and conversation. Then we’ll go out into the field to practice our new skills. Binoculars and books provided during the class, but if you have your own please bring them. Be prepared to be outdoors in the weather for about an hour. RESERVATIONS REQUIRED. Call Jennifer at 408-262-5513 ext.106.
