If you love all things nature and want to get to know the birds you’ll find in and around Madison, this class is for you. This is a four-part session with both classroom and field-based learning, and geared toward adults. The goals are to teach you the skills important to identifying bird species, and then practice those skills with a new set of birds each week.
Week 1’s birds will include the most common species, Week 2 will focus on less common and more challenging birds, and Week 3 will culminate in the tricky family of Warblers. The final week will feature a bird walk. This is a fun, interactive, judgement-free learning experience!
Class dates are April 11, 18, 25, from 10am-12pm, and May 2 from 8-10am CST.
Classes 1-3 (April 11, 18, and 26) will be held at Kromrey Middle School, 7009 Donna Dr, Middleton, right next to the Pheasant Branch Creek Corridor.
Class 4 (May 3) will be held at the UW-Madison Arboretum.
Cost is $25. Registration is limited to 25 people. Registration opens for SoWBA members on March 2. Any remaining spots will open to the public on April 1.
