Birds of Alemany Farm: Bird Walk

Sunday September 29th, 10 am - 12 pm (Pacific Daylight Time)

Instructor: J.R. Blair

This IN-PERSON WORKSHOP will be hosted at Alemany Farm.

We will spend a couple of hours wandering around the Farm identifying and discussing the birds found there. In addition to bird "watching" we will spend some time talking about the intersection of birds and other organisms including humans - pollination, seed dispersal, conservation, introduced species, taxonomy, birding resources, etc.

Bring binoculars if you have them and any field guides you have.
