Birding Basics is back!

White-crowned Sparrow by Ruth Shelly

Do you find yourself listening to an odd chirp while walking or gardening? Are you fascinated by the random rustlings in the bushes? Do you notice and enjoy the birds in your world, but wish you knew more about these clever and busy neighbors?

This is just the class for you! Participants will learn how birds behave so it will be easier to find, watch, and identify birds.

Our instructors teach identification, adaptations, and habitat of the birds of the Oregon Coast during this two-week class, which is offered through the Oregon Coast Community College twice a year. Participants will have access to bird guides and binoculars, and will learn how to use them. The final day is a practice field trip.

Please note: this is a 4 session class on Tuesdays and Thursdays from June 4-13.

Dates: June 4, 6, 11 & 13

Time: 1:30-3:00pm

Cost: $40 plus $10 materials fee

Location: Oregon Coast Community College - North Campus
3788 SE High School Drive, Lincoln City
