Learn to Bird!$100/person (PVAS members receive a 10% discount). Registration is required and limited to 20 participants. The course is open to adults and children 16+.
Birding 101 is a four-week course held in April which includes four classroom sessions on Wednesday evening and four field trips on Saturday mornings. It is tailored for beginning birders, but those looking to enhance their skills are also welcome! We will utilize both the classroom sessions and field trips to teach everything from bird identification and field etiquette to birding techniques and resources. The course is taught by local birding experts who love sharing their knowledge and passion for birds. An impressive collection of images and recordings, many captured by the instructors, enhance the course.
Classroom Sessions:

The Saturday morning field trips allow participants to practice skills learned in the classroom. Participants will visit a variety of habitats to observe the bird species found in each. Field trips are held entirely outdoors, so participants should dress appropriately for the weather and be prepared for muddy conditions. Field trips include walking 1-2 miles on trails of varying terrain (some hills) at an easy pace with many stops to look for birds.
Field Trips:
