Class: Who's Calling, Please? Introducing Birding by Ear - Field Trip

2-week online course (March 12 & 19)

Optional field trip add-on (March 17)

Instructor: Whitney Neufeld-Kaiser

Identifying birds by their songs and calls can transform both your everyday life and your birding experience. This 2-part class is perfect for folks who just finished the recent Beginning Birding class or are just starting to recognize the sounds of birds in their neighborhood. We’ll take a deep dive into the songs and calls of a few birds that are both common in Puget Sound and that have distinctive and diverse sounds. With the goals that (1) you’ll come away having definitively mastered the sounds of at least one bird and (2) you’ll have a solid foundation of skills to learn the sounds of as many birds as you fancy.

The class will be recorded and registrants will have access to the recordings until April 9.
