Birding 101 Workshop

• •  

  Fee $50 / Saturday 8a – 4p 

  Get hooked on this fast-growing and widespread hobby. Learn or refresh the basics of birding—both visual and sound identification—in a combination of classroom tips and field trip fun. All this at Laguna Atascosa, the nation’s birdiest wildlife refuge, with top Valley birder Brad McKinney, A Birder’s Guide to the RGV and A Checklist of Lower RGV Birds. His co-leaders are none other than Jon Dunn, author of the Nat Geo Field Guide, and Kim Eckert, veteran leader with Victor Emmanuel Nature Tours.

  Goals:  Developing basic birding skills, learning how to identify birds on your own, and seeing a nice variety of birds in the field.
