Join Michele Grzenda for Beginning Backyard Bird Song and sign up for our Birding Trips.
Birdsong identification is a lot like learning a foreign language. You start with a few basic bird songs as a reference, then add to your repertoire by repetition and practice. Learn the types of sounds birds make, and why they make them. Unlock the key to “mnemonics” memorization techniques. The classes will explore common bird songs heard in Massachusetts and techniques used to remember them. Each class will focus on approximately 10-15 birds. Ample time will be spent listening to each bird song, finding ways to remember it, and putting several different bird songs together for comparison. Please bring a notebook, pen, and bird book if you have one.
Register now for class on Wednesdays, May 15 & 22 from 7-9 pm
Are you interested in identifying the birds singing in your backyard or a nearby park? Michele will introduce you to 25 species commonly found in our neighborhoods, wetlands, and forests. Learn various field identification techniques by sight and sound. These walks are designed for beginner and intermediate bird watchers. Please bring a pair of binoculars, bug spray, and a field guide if you have them. MAY 11 TRIP IS CURRENTLY FULL.
