Becoming A Birder   

It can be daunting to think about getting into birding, but, with a little bit of knowledge, it's much easier to begin! This class will introduce you to where to bird in the Northland; to the migration and natural history/phenology of the birds who live here; to how to choose and use binoculars, bird books, and birding apps; and to backyard bird feeding tips and ethics. We'll end the class with a morning of birding in the Bagley Nature Area, weather permitting.
