This course is designed to help you move beyond your backyard to identifying the birds that surround us, particularly those that will be passing through our area in the spring. The level of experience of the participants will shape what material is covered. The first class will cover the basics of equipment and technique, unless all the students have taken a previous course with the instructor. We will practice identification by sight as well as sound, focusing on warblers, thrushes, and raptors, concentrating on expected species and moving into rarities as time allows.
