NJ Audubon: Learning the Birds by Song

Led by Randy Little, Associate Naturalist

This workshop series will begin Tuesday March 8 and will meet every Tuesday evening until April 12. Workshop participants may also join Randy Saturday, April 16 from 8:00 to 9:30-ish am for a free, outdoor, “practical hands-on” Learning the Birds by Song walk at the Sanctuary.

For beginners and those with some experience, this birding-by-ear workshop series will improve your bird identification skills. More often than not, birds are heard before they are seen (if seen at all!) Learning their songs will add another dimension to your birdwatching. March 8 and 15 will cover the winter resident birds, March 22 and 29 will cover the early migrant birds, and April 5 and 12 will cover the summer resident birds. Randy Little is a former NJA board member and long-time NJA volunteer. Randy learned birding as a youngster under the wings of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology’s founders, and is a master at recording bird songs for the Cornell Lab.

When: Tuesdays, March 8 through April 12. (7:00pm to 8:30pm.)

Where: 11 Hardscrabble Road, Bernardsville, NJ

Cost per session: $10 members, $15 non-members.
