The Birds of Summer: Morning Bird Walks
Advertisement
This is a paid recurring Adult School class. Registration is required.
The spring and fall migrations get all the good press, but our area is also home to a wide array of breeding birds, from vireos and thrushes in the woods to egrets and skimmers in the nearby marshes. Our three Tuesday morning excursions will take us into three very different habitats as we get to know some of our local nesting species: upland forest, riparian forest, and brackish wetland. (Exact locations will be selected based on recent sightings and weather.) Each outing will find us walking slowly for 3 hours, watching the birds we find and learning about their lives and habits.
No materials required, but binoculars, a field guide, and a notebook and pencil are encouraged (please consult with the instructor for recommendations)
