Led by Whitney Neufeld-Kaiser, Seattle Audubon Master Birder

Some pairs and trios of Pacific Northwest birds are difficult for almost everyone to distinguish by sound – at first!  Using various tools of BBE – careful, analytical listening; sonograms; mnemonics – we’ll tackle some of these tricky ones, highlighting the distinctions and clues that can help tell them apart.  Register for one, two, or all three sessions.  Folks newer to BBE might benefit from reading Nathan Pieplow’s webpage beforehand.

Pricing*:

1 session: $10 for members, $15 for non-members

2 sessions: $20 for members, $30 for non-members
