This 12-week introductory course (online and in the field) is designed for absolute beginner birders with no previous birding experience, more experienced birders who want to tune up their birding skills, and anyone interested in learning more about bird ecology and the habitat needs of different bird species.
Course Format
Through a combination of online and field-based instruction you will learn the most effective tips for identifying 60 species of songbirds and songbird-like birds (e.g., woodpeckers) you are most likely to encounter in southern and central New Hampshire.
- Weekly Online Lessons include a combination of audio and video lessons that you complete on your own schedule. Weekly lessons will introduce you to 3-6 new bird species and will require an average of 1-2 hours of time to complete each week.
- Optional Field-Based Lessons provide you many opportunities to practice identifying birds in their habitat with an instructor who will point out specific features to look and listen for. Weekly field trips will be offered at different times of the day and days of the week in central and southern NH.
