This course, taught by retired professor of ornithology Scott Mills,
will provide an introduction to birding with an emphasis on developing
identification skills.
Other topics will include a review of birding
tools (including binoculars and field guides), an introduction to birding
terminology, and some discussion of basic bird biology as they relate to
identification. The course is designed primarily for beginning birders
but should be useful for many mid-level birders as well.
The class is comprised of five classes and two field trips. Field trip
dates to be determined at the first class.
Registration required.
