Birding Basics - Adult education class


  • Oregon Coast Community College 3788 Southeast High School Drive Lincoln City, OR, 97367 United States (map)

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 the type you are seeing. Bird identification, adaptions, and habitat will be introduced. Birds of the Oregon Coast will be the focus during this two-week class. Participants will have access to bird guides and binoculars and will learn how to use them. The final trip of the class will be a field trip to identify birds in the area. And, the class is a great opportunity to learn more about the Audubon Society, for which both our instructors have long been dedicated volunteers.

This class will be led by ASLC instructors Caren Willoughby and Laura Doyle.
