Discover what makes a bird a bird in this beginner birding class. Learn the basics of bird identification, the wide diversity of birds you might see in New Hampshire, and some tools of the trade to help you name the birds around you. This walk will be lead by Devin Guilfoyle from the New Hampshire Audubon’s Newfound Center. The trails your group will be walking are on conservation land, where you may have the chance to see a bobolink and other rare birds.
Devin Guilfoyle was recently promoted to Newfound Centers Public Programs Coordinator. Hailing from Schenectady, New York, he holds a bachelor’s degree in Conservation Biology from St. Lawrence University with years of experience in environmental education taking him to Vermont, Georgia, Minnesota, Maine, and now New Hampshire!
“I’ve always been interested in the natural world, particularly birds,” Devin says. His appreciation of nature began with exploring the woods behind his grandmother’s house as a child and solidified in his undergraduate studies through classes such as ecology, ornithology, and ecology of lakes and rivers. Through outdoor education and programming, Devin strives “to inspire a sense of wonder about the natural world in visitors, young and old. My hope is by inspiring this wonder, people will be moved to conserve natural spaces.”
