One of the more difficult aspects of birding is learning bird sounds. Luckily you don't have to rely on just your auditory memory to “tune- in” to the songs and calls of birds. This 4 hour program will teach you how to hear with your eyes. Fun techniques including, ways to observe the bird, visual clues, diagnostic sounds, creative mnemonics, comparative ideas and personalizing your interpretation. We'll start indoors with a fantastic presentation, then head outdoors to listen and observe the birds on an easy 2 mile walk. Novice to expert birders welcome!
