What to expect:

Join Lisa Duke from the Kellogg Bird Sanctuary and Josh Haas from Hawks on the Wing for this spring’s Field Ornithology Course! We are bringing in-person lectures back for 2025! Participants will meet at the Sanctuary Auditorium for 5 Wednesday evening lectures from an area expert on topics like migration, conservation, climate change, and more. All lectures will also be available via Zoom webinar for those who can’t join us. The second half of the evening will include either a birding hike on the Sanctuary grounds or a bird ID lecture. Online participants cannot join in on the evening birding hikes. We will also offer two Saturday field trips that will travel to nearby birding destinations. Each lecture participant will receive access to a Google folder containing further educational documents. Participants can register for lectures, field trips, or both!
