Retzer Nature Center
The study of birds can be fascinating, inspiring, life-changing, challenging, and sometimes downright frustrating. Join Dr. Andrew Cassini on a nine week journey to learn all about bird identification.
This rigorous field ornithology course will focus on learning bird identification of around 250 birds by sight and sound, while developing field craft skills in binocular and spotting scope use, along with related technology. Participants will experience great birding opportunities and will visit various birding hotspots in our area.
