Blackburnian warbler is one neotropical migrant we might see.In this class you will learn the fundamentals of bird watching. The program begins with an introduction on how to identify birds by sight and sound and will cover bird watching tools including binoculars, field guides, audio, video, computer guides and websites. We will also discuss how to attract birds to your yard through the use of plants, feeders, and nest boxes. The second part of the class will be spent outside looking for birds. September is the peak of Fall migration, so we are sure to see some outstanding neotropical migrants as well as many local birds. It is highly recommended that you bring your own pair of binoculars.
