Bird ID Classes

Published on by Harry

Audubon Rockies and the Murie Audubon Society Chapter will once again team up to offer birding classes this spring with Thursday evening classes held at the Audubon Center using a power point format. All except the first one are followed by a Saturday field trip to various birding places in the area.

THURSDAY, APRIL 18 – 6:30 start time – Birds  and Binoculars This first one is a very basic introduction to birding, with identification tips, and using field guides and binoculars effectively. We start earlier than the other classes so we have time to go out on the trail at the Center, and practice our binocular and identification skills!

The rest of the classes focuses on specific groups of birds:

¨ Thursday, April 25—7:00p.m. Waterfowl.  Field trip on Saturday, April 27.

¨ Thursday, May 9—7:00p.m. Birds of Edness Kimball Wilkins State Park .   Field trip on Saturday, May 11.

¨ Thursday, May 30—7:00p.m. Raptors    Field trip on Saturday, June  1.

¨ Thursday, June 6—7:00p.m. Birds of Casper Mtn. and Rotary Park.  Field trip Saturday, June 8.
