SUMMARY:Birding by Ear
DESCRIPTION:Learn Techniques to Identify Birds WITHOUT Relying on Sight \nJust as unique as their coloration and shape\, bird sounds come in all tunes and pitches. Identifying birds by their song is an exciting activity and skill\, and any experienced bird watcher will tell you that most birding is done without actually seeing the bird\, but by hearing it. \nThis 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. \nCOST: $25 Registration is required. Scholarships are available. \n  \nMore information and registration \n  \nThis event is co-organized by the Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance\, the Wisconsin Council of the Blind and Visually Impaired\, and the Aldo Leopold Nature Center. \n
