Hi Tweets,

Kristi and I will be teaching the second class in our four-part Beginning
Birder class this Thursday, December 2.? The class is organized for Seattle
Audubon, with several purposes in mind.? One hope is that Seattle Audubon
volunteers who aren?t strong birders will come and learn a bit more about
bird identification, behavior, and biology.? We would also like to invite
any beginning birders out there from the broader community to also attend
the classes.? There will be a chance to learn more about Seattle Audubon and
about volunteer opportunities there. Each class is designed to be
self-contained, so it's okay if you missed the first one.

The classes will focus on learning many of the common birds of the Puget
Sound region by sight and sound.? Each class will focus on a different
season, and different groups of birds (this class will focus on hawks,
falcons, ducks, and grebes).? We will also be talking a bit about habitats,
bird behavior, and bird feeding.

Thursday's class will be from 7-9pm in the Kent Evans Auditorium at Lakeside
School (14050 1st Ave NE in Seattle, near I-5 and 145th).? The class is free
and open to the public, BUT you must call the Seattle Audubon Nature Shop to
register at 206-523-4483 (the room is a finite size!).? The last two classes
are at the same time and location on January 27 and March 30.
