Black Hills Audubon Society is offering a 4 part Beginning Birding class, beginning Wednesday, March 5. You must register in advance. Fee is $50. Half the fee will support the Friends of Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge Complex.
Do you want to know what kind of birds you keep seeing in your yard or on neighborhood walks? Do you wonder about what they eat? Where they go in the winter? What makes them unique? Do you want to learn how to go about identifying birds?
Black Hills Audubon Society (BHAS) offers you an opportunity to learn about the birds you are most likely to see in Western Washington. Dr. Kim Adelson will host a series of four 90-minute classes, each a standalone presentation. The course will cover a total of roughly 40 bird species, ranging from kinglets to doves to sparrows to woodpeckers. The intent is to teach you how to identify these birds by sight and to learn where they are found and what their typical behaviors are (also good clues to identification!). In many cases you will learn to identify them by ear. If you are intimidated by “little brown birds” and think that they all look alike, this is the class for you!
