Join Lisa Duke from the Kellogg Bird Sanctuary and Josh Haas from Hawks on the Wing for this spring’s Field Ornithology Course! This combination Zoom webinar lectures and in-person field trips will focus on bird physiology and how to use that information for your identification skills!  Each lecture will cover adaptations of a bird family group and highlight some individual species that you can see in Michigan at that time.   

The Field Ornithology Course is a 5-session course for adults and open to the general public.   Zoom webinars are Wednesday evenings from 6-7 pm.  These webinars will be recorded, in case you are unable to attend in real time.  Each lecture participant will receive access to a google folder containing further educational documents.  Participants can register for just lectures, just field trips, or both!  Field trips will happen at or near the W.K. Kellogg Bird Sanctuary.
