W3 - Birding by Ear

9:00-11:00 am OIT Owens Hall Room 208

Birding by ear is an essential tool for detecting more birds in the field, and your birding experiences will be greatly enhanced as you improve your birding-by-ear skills. In this workshop, John Alexander of the Klamath Bird Observatory will help you learn bird songs and calls using sounds recordings, mnemonic devices, sonograms, and drawing. The workshop integrates lecture, images, guided listening, and participation. We will focus on breeding songbirds of the Klamath Basin, comparing sound-alike species of riparian, fir, pine, oak, and shrub steppe habitats.

Fee: $20
