And then you try to look it up and just get frustrated... If so, this class is for you! The class is taught by Jane Patterson, current President and Education chair for Baton Rouge Audubon Society.This class will cover the basics needed to get into birdwatching. We'll talk about binoculars and field guides and how to choose and use them. We'll do lots of exercises and skillbuilding. And we'll talk about how to take your newfound skills into the field.This class will consist of 4 lectures on a 4 sequential Mondays (9/21, 9/28, 10/12, 10/19 [skipping Oct 5] ) and then 4 field trips (weather permitting) on the following weekend with the entire class. Please plan to attend all 4 sessions to get the most out of the class. A daytime class with the same material is also being offered this year. Both classes will attend the same field trips.- Class will be limited to 10 people- Class will be held in the large meeting room at Hilltop. Enter Hilltop from Highland road no matter what your GPS tells you!- Field trips will be scheduled for the weekends following the classes at various locations near Baton Rouge. I will have binoculars to loan for the bird walks.For those that have taken the class before, I will be offering a field trip only option this time. The process will be to register for the class as usual to reserve your spot. I will reimburse you 50% of the tuition once the class starts. However, you can be bumped by a first time student. I'm doing this to try to fill all the spots and to offer a chance for repeat students to participate in the field trips. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/baton-rouge/birding-basics-hilltop-arboretum-evening-class-fall-2026/100001993151947128 - **Event Categories**: workshops, meetups - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Hilltop Arboretum - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 50, max: 50, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Baton Rouge - **state**: LA - **country**: United States - **location**: Hilltop Arboretum - **lat**: 30.35615 - **long**: -91.094984 - **full address**: Hilltop Arboretum, 11855 Highland Road, Baton Rouge, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Birding Basics @ Hilltop Arboretum - Evening Class (Fall 2026) - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/00ac57d736cf39a72531fcdd904b4bb48f2838dfd623b61a1fa58bffd9f7bc08-rimg-w1200-h1196-dc43471b-gmir.jpg?v=1783357025 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Birding Basics @ Hilltop Arboretum - Evening Class (Fall 2026) being held? - **A:** Birding Basics @ Hilltop Arboretum - Evening Class (Fall 2026) takes place on Mon, 21 Sep, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Mon, 21 Sep, 2026 at 08:30 pm at Hilltop Arboretum, 11855 Highland Road, Baton Rouge, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Birding Basics @ Hilltop Arboretum - Evening Class (Fall 2026)? - **A:** Birding Basics @ Hilltop Arboretum - Evening Class (Fall 2026) is organized by Jane Patterson. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
