Eastside Audubon is offering new birding classes for beginners and intermediate birders starting this March..

Kevin O’Malley, a naturalist and experienced birder, will teach the classes. O’Malley has led educational walks since 2004 and currently heads the South Sound Nature School. He will be joined by Barbara Petersen, an avid birder who regularly leads field trips for the Rainier Audubon Society.

The class will be held at Lake Sammamish State Park. The fee is $35 per person but this event will be part of the annual Birdathon fundraiser and participants are encouraged to donate extra to help EAS continue birding classes.

No experience is necessary. Binoculars are recommended but not required. Classes will be limited to approximately 10 people.

While geared toward adults, families are welcome. Children under 12 years are free but must be accompanied by an adult. Children 12+ are permitted only if accompanied by a parent/guardian.

Registration is required. Registration closes May 14th.

Sorry, refunds are not available.
