SUMMARY:Cancelled! - Better Birding Series: Getting Down and Birdy:  Planning your Big Year
DESCRIPTION:by Cindy Flanagan \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGRNRA\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nHearing the term “Big Year” for some might pop up an image of The Big Year movie or some intense birders zipping all over to see another bird to add to “The List”. This kind of BIG might be fine for some\, too intense for others. Either way\, there can be a lot to be gained by going BIG… \n\n\n\nFocusing BIG can help you improve your birding skills\, and your enjoyment of birds. It can also help create a fun\, birding community. \n\n\n\nThis webinar will explore how to create a time commitment and a specific focus that will help you explore birds\, your way.  We will look at ideas for organizing a day\, a week\, a month\, or even a year’s focus. Next we will explore different ways to focus on birding such as a location\, birding by ear\, nature journaling\, or birding a specific class of birds. We will also look at how to share information and connect with others in your BIG focus. \n\n\n\nJoin us and let’s have fun thinking BIG. A new year is upon us and planning how you can make your year BIG can be one of your most exciting ways to being a better birder. \n\n\n\nIf you have any specific ideas you wonder about or would like to try\, send them in before the session. Email Cindy Flanagan cindy.flanagan@rainieraudubon.org \n\n\n\nClick here to join us.

Isolated since it drifted away from India 88 million years ago\, a very large percentage of its plants and animals are endemic\, occurring nowhere else—95% of reptiles\, 92% of mammals\, 89% of plants\, and 41% of birds. Dennis Paulson spent 18 days there in January 2016 and will share some of his wonderful experiences. \n\n\n\nDennis Paulson lives in Seattle\, Washington. Until retirement\, he was the Director of the Slater Museum of Natural History at the University of Puget Sound. His books on birds include Exotic Birds\, Shorebirds of the Pacific Northwest\, Shorebirds of North America: The Photographic Guide\, Birds of the Puget Sound Region: Coast to Cascades\, and Field Guide to the Birds of Washington. He has traveled all over the world to study and photograph birds and dragonflies and likes nothing better than teaching about them. He is a naturalist as well as a biologist and has written an additional half-dozen books about dragonflies and other aspects of nature. \n\n\n\nThis is a hybrid meeting.
