Please share this scholarship announcement with anyone you think may be interested in applying for a scholarship for our upcoming course, Spring Ornithology with Steve Kress. We hope to make the course available to educators and young people who may be interested in birds but unable to afford the course fee. Instead of the full $125 course fee for the eight-week course, scholarship recipients will be asked to pay $15, which includes Cayuga Bird Club membership.
*Applications for youth and young adults are welcome from people ages 14-25.* *Applications for educators are welcome from teachers, naturalists, and other youth mentors.* */Spring Ornithology with Steve Kress/* will be held by Zoom webinars on Tuesday evenings, March 30 - May 18, 2021, 7 - 9 pm. Course information and scholarship application forms are available for download at www.cayugabirdclub.org/spring-ornithology <http://www.cayugabirdclub.org/spring-ornithology>. Lectures by Dr. Stephen Kress, well-known for teaching a Spring Field Ornithology course at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology for more than 40 years, will include discussion of bird migration, courtship, family life, and conservation. Each weekly presentation features a group of birds that are at the peak of their spring migration, with beautiful photos and sound recordings. Lectures will also be recorded and shared with participants for later viewing if they are unable to attend a session, or if they’d just like to watch again to review. Dr. Kress is renowned for his entertaining and engaging teaching style, and loves sharing his extensive knowledge of bird life.
