Hi, Tweets,
I wanted to post about an up-coming class at East Lake Washington
Audubon Society. It is a birding by ear class, I did this last year and
it was very helpful trying to figure all those singing birds.
This year they have added a class portion as well as a field trip, great
if you are new to birding or want a spring re-fresher course. Here is
the info below.
