Beyond BIRDING
FOR BEGINNERS

Ready to explore more about birds and birdwatching? Join Barb and Buz Sawyer, avid birdwatchers, in exploring a little deeper into this fascinating past-time. Perhaps you can already identify several common species (at least the males!) and have a pair of binoculars, but you want to expand your skills. Sometimes you hear the bird, but can’t see it. Sometimes it just flies too quickly to get a good look. The males are often easy to identify, but those females can be hard. And sometimes those “little brown jobs” can be downright frustrating. Tools, techniques, and equipment will be shared, as well as discussing bird behavior, habitats and conservation. Weather permitting, we will visit different habitats within the Garden.

Bring your stories and your questions! Barb will share photos of some of the places they have traveled on birdwatching adventures and Buz will talk about keeping a life list (his includes almost 500 species!).
