Maryland Master Naturalist Advanced Training: Introduction to Bird Language
Tuesday, August 15 8-noon at Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center
Wednesday, August 16 8-noon at Pickering Creek Audubon Center
Explore the world of birds beyond identification and classification. Birds and other animals share a language that allows them to safely navigate their world and stay connected to each other. Learn how to “listen” to what birds say through their vocalizations and behaviors in this structured immersive field experience. During this two-day workshop you will learn how to identify the unique patterns of behavior common across many species. Hone your observation skills in the field and awaken your understanding of what birds are saying in real time about the landscape around them. Join us to work closely with fellow naturalists to map out and interpret your observations. Enhance how you share the natural world with others by studying bird language.
Registration: $20 for one day or $35 for both days by following the link below:
