Class Synopsis:
Join Gulf Coast Bird Observatory's Executive Director, Martin Hagne, for a detailed look at the hummingbirds of Texas. This course will include a weekday evening classroom session via Zoom followed by a morning field trip where our licensed researchers will be banding birds. This unique experience will allow up-close viewing of the birds in order to practice the identification skills we learned during the Zoom sessions. Each species account will include:
Identification basics with photo quizzes
Typical vocalizations
Breeding and wintering ranges, and the best local spots for each species
Habitat and diet information
The course fee of $100.00 includes:

Helping save birds, as the fee goes directly to supporting GCBO’s many conservation programs.
