TMN Coastal Prairie Chapter invites you to an interactive program, the “Art of Seeing Birds“. Struggling to tell one sparrow from another—or wondering what field marks really matter when birds won’t sit still? Better Birding Through Art offers a fresh, engaging way to level up your birding skills through the power of drawing.  In this interactive program, nature educator and featured 2024 Great Texas Birding Classic artist, Amber Leung, reveals how simple sketching techniques can dramatically improve observation, memory, and bird identification. By slowing down and drawing what you see, you’ll train your eye to notice avian anatomy, feather groups, posture, and key field marks that often go overlooked in the field.

Participants will take part in guided sketching drills, explore the structure and function of bird forms, and learn how nature journaling can deepen understanding while fostering a stronger connection to conservation. Join in person or online with just paper and pencils—no artistic experience required.
