Birds of Alemany Farm: Bird Walk

Saturday March 22nd, 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 Alemany Farm identifying and discussing the birds found there and how the birds interact with the farm. 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.
