Birding by Ear is a wonderful way to experience birds without relying on sight! Participants of this field trip will not learn bird songs or how to bird by ear; rather the focus will be on how to lead field trips to make them more accessible to individuals with vision loss. This is a great opportunity for people who currently lead nature outings or would like to in the future!

Birding by Ear
Just as unique as their coloration and shape, bird sounds come in all tunes and pitches. This class teaches the tools and techniques for identifying birds by close listening (we don’t spend a lot of time memorizing particular bird songs). We welcome participants who are new to the hobby of birding by ear, as well as birders of any level interested in continuing to learn and practice their birding by ear skills. This class is for anyone interested in birding by ear, of all physical abilities, ages, and birding skills.
