Birding for Fledglings (A Beginning Birding Class)
Description
Instructors: Dawn Lemoine (dlemoine@goldengatebirds.org) and Yvette MacDonald
Desciption: Fall is a great time to begin your birding journey in the Bay Area. A major stop on the Pacific Flyway, the San Francisco Bay is rich with ducks, shorebirds and passerines in the winter. In the fall, we witness their arrival.
No experience is necessary, but even advanced beginners will find plenty of challenge in this class. The class will focus on families of birds; keys to bird identification; and finding and IDing the Bay Area's Fall/Winter birds. You will be introduced to eBird and Merlin, the tools used today to enhance the birding experience. We will connect you to the birding community and provide resources to enhance your birding in the future.
Note: We will visit at most one East Bay Regional Park that requires a $5 entrance fee (or EBRPD membership).
