AT: Intermediate Birding Interactive Workshop Series

June 20 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

$15

Virtual.  Pricing $15 per workshop session, each class is 1.5 hrs duration from 7pm-8:30pm CST.  Birding for Fun is hosting a summer workshop series  designed for intermediate birders.  It is recommended that beginner birders take the “Beginning Birding” class series  as a pre-requisite but this is not mandatory.   All experience levels are welcome.

Purchase individual workshop dates or entire series online at website here.

In this Birding for Fun series, we share professional videos of species encountered while out birding for your enjoyment and education. We go birding at all times of the day, during all kinds of weather, throughout all seasons, in a wide variety of habitats, so we see a wonderful variety of species, plumages, and behaviors.

Each week we’ll surprise you with virtual field trips to current birding hotspots, sharing our videos of species we’ve encountered there – but you’ll have to identify them to discover what we saw!  In this fun workshop, you’ll practice observation skills to decipher clues about appearance, habitat, behavior, season, and range. Bring your favorite field guide and/or app to help solve these real-life identification puzzles!  By attending from week to week, you’ll gain valuable insight into seasonal transitions, habitat changes in real-time, plumage variations, behavioral adaptations, and more – experience usually acquired only by spending hours in the field yourself. While we encourage knowledge sharing with each other, we do have specific information to impart and objectives to accomplish in each workshop; for this reason, it’s important to allow us to take the lead during discussions to ensure that the workshop flows smoothly.
