Join the Lisa Duke from the Kellogg Bird Sanctuary and Josh Haas from Hawks on the Wing for this spring’s Field Ornithology Course! This combination webinar and virtual classroom course will focus on identification skills of birds by sight and sound. We are focusing on migration this spring  and will incorporate some live birding on beautiful Wintergreen Lake located within the grounds of the Sanctuary. Josh’s dynamic teaching style will encourage students to take information shared in the classroom outside in the field! All skill levels are welcome!

The Field Ornithology Course is a 5-session course for adults and open to the general public.  Sessions meet every other week to span spring bird migration.  Zoom webinars are Thursday evenings from 6-7 pm and cover topics including bird identification tips and tricks and focus on specific bird family groups.
