Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this birding tours class:

Enjoy this fun, educational class from the comfort of your home ... then venture into your garden to spot your bird neighbors. It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a bird! But what species? Sandy will teach you how to identify birds using field marks, songs, and behavior. Also get techniques for selecting binoculars and field guides. More than a hobby, birding is a fun, educational, and inexpensive way to connect with nature whether in your backyard or the great outdoors. It's also a fantastic way to meet other people who appreciate our feathered friends. Plus you'll discover ways you can get more involved in the birding community. 

Children (age 8-18) may attend with a parent or guardian for just $10 extra. Please reach out to [email protected] for inquiries.

School Notes: Maps, directions, and parking info are on our website at http://www.wlac.edu/westside/WestsideMapandLegend.pdf. Please contact the school for specific room information. The Westside Extension office is located at the back of Parking Lot 5.

  • Birdwatching Basics (Remote Live)

    Anonymous review on 8/3/2020
    I thought the Birdwatching Basics class was excellent, and just right for a newcomer to bird watching. The instructor was very enthusiastic and engaging. There were a lot of fun and interesting facts, as well as great bird photos, in the PowerPoint presentation. The class was not the full 3 hours (it's meant to be a lecture followed by an actual birdwatching walk, but the latter could not occur given the virtual setting), but I think it was just the right amount of time - I'd suggest the listing on CourseHorse be updated to reflect that it's more like 2 hours. I did take my own birdwatching walk afterward and I felt like I was able to see and hear with new eyes and ears after this class!

    Enjoyed the class. I think the description should have said that it was going to just be 2 hours since the 3rd hour would have been an outdoor group bird walk had we been in a physical class. Instructor was good, though.
