New Birder’s Workshop
Program

This 3-hour workshop will spend about 45 minutes with ‘classroom’ material then move outside in small groups (4 or less/group) for a 2-hour “walk and learn” with experienced birders in the Novak Sanctuary. You will learn how to group birds by size and shape, how to get a general impression of their movements, and what field marks to look for BEFORE you refer to your field guide. You will also learn how to use a field guide and how to care for your binoculars.

THIS FREE WORKSHOP IS FOR NEW BIRDERS and you must register to attend! We want you to feel comfortable asking ANY question, no matter how basic. The experienced birders who accompany you in the field will be focused on helping you become more confident, so you can get excited about visiting new places to find birds.

For maximum convenience the same workshop is offered on two different days: Wednesday March 18^th from 9:00am to noon and Saturday March 21^st from 9:00am to noon.
