Kevin O’Malley, lead naturalist and birder at South Sound Nature School, will be teaching a birding basics class for beginners & intermediate birders wanting to further their knowledge about birding, assisted by Rainier Audubon member Barbara Petersen.

Class will focus on winter birds of the Puget Sound area, and will cover identification and behavior. Birding is a fascinating recreational activity. The class will help you better describe what you are hearing and seeing in your backyard and in the field.

Nisqually has both forest and wetland habitats which leads to a great bird diversity. Binoculars are recommended but not required.

These small classes will be geared toward ages 16 years and up. Class takes place on Saturday, November 27, 2021, 9:00AM to 12:30PM at the Billy Frank Jr Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge. We’ll meet near the Visitor’s Center.

Maximum 8 participants.
