Spring Birding for Beginners, with Mike West

For anyone who is just beginning to bird or who wants some really excellent basic instruction. Birding can be a challenging activity because birds are not always easy to distinguish, and they are naturally skittish. Let Mike help you discover some basic key methods for figuring out which bird is which, and you’ll enjoy your birding more. There are few activities that can bring such a sense of wonder, satisfaction, and connection with nature in the busy lives we all lead. Scheduled to coincide with the best birding time of the year.
