*Birding by Ear - Beginning
(Online registration: class is in the Audubon/Nature Studies category) Although the peak of bird song production has passed, we still have plenty of opportunities to listen for bird sounds. Fall is a great time to start birding by ear and learn some of the Bay Area birds that stay for winter or are here all year long. We will listen to bird sounds in class and visit three different habitats on our field trips. www.blkittiwake.com (Six Thursday lectures starting Sep 16. Three Saturday field trips starting Sep 18)

Birds of the Bay Area
(Online registration: class is in the Audubon/Nature Studies category) It's fall and the shorebirds are back! Waterfowl crowd the refuges and reservoirs, and raptors ply the air. It's a great time to get to know our local birds through illustrated lectures and interesting field trips. Join an agreeable group of birders and build your birding skills!
