Birding 101 ONLINE:
Build your birding knowledge from the ground up
We’re sorry, this class is sold out!
If you love all things nature and want to get to know the birds you'll find in and around Madison, this class is for you. This is a three-part session with both online classroom and field assignments, and geared toward adults. Each day involves a slightly more advanced set of skills and information, but this course is intended for entry-level birders. This is a judgement-free bird learning experience; join us!
In response to the COVID-19 situation, this class has been reformatted to an ONLINE setting, with two fantastic parts! Attendees can participate in both parts from home.
Our instructors, Chuck Henrikson and Abe Lenoch (excellent birders and wonderful teachers!), will host an online, video classroom each of the three Saturdays from 8-10am (April 18, 25, and May 2). You will receive a link for how to join the online classroom. You will be able to see Chuck and Abe, their powerpoint presentations, and their images, and you will be able to ask your questions live during this session.
Then, Chuck and Abe will give you at-home assignments to do some birding in the days between class. They’ll provide recommendations on where to go, what to look for, etc. while maintaining social distancing.
Class attendees will need a computer, tablet, or laptop, internet connection, and to be familiar with using a web browser like Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, etc. A webcam and microphone are preferred, but not required.
Registration info: Registration is limited to 25 people participating in the online classroom, and is currently open to Madison Audubon members only (any remaining seats will open to the public on April 1).
This class is part of Madison Audubon’s adult education series called the Audubon Naturalist Series. Many of the classes offer early registration for Madison Audubon members, but most also open for public registration if there are spots left in the class.
