Birding like a Biologist

Deepen your understanding of bird life in our area and improve your ability to identify birds by exploring their behavior, habitats, morphology, and taxonomy in engaging classroom and outdoor settings. On guided trips at three birding hotspots you'll observe birds as they transition out of winter and into spring. Our featured expert Luke K. Butler, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Biology at The College of New Jersey, returns for this new session - Part of the Language of Nature series.

Course includes three Wednesday evening lectures and three Saturday morning field trips. There will be a short Spring Break in classes for Passover/Easter (no lectures or trips from 3/22 through 4/7). Rain dates for Field Trips are Sundays immediately following. Trips include Forsythe NWR, Institute Woods/Rodgers Wildlife Refuge, and The Watershed Reserve. 

This course is intended for adults.
