The Vancouver Avian Research Centre has just posted spring dates for
Bird Monitoring and Banding and Bird Identification Workshops.
Bird Identification Workshop:
April 28 29
Bird Monitoring and Banding Workshop:
May 11 13
June 8 - 10
The Bird Identification Workshop is designed for beginner and
intermediate birders who may wish to participate in citizen science
projects such as the BC Breeding Bird Atlas or similar programs or who
just want to take their bird knowledge and identification skills to the
next level.
This course covers groups, topography, field marks, song, habitat, molt,
ageing and more and includes a guided field session to the Colony Farm
banding station. Although developed for beginner and intermediate
birders the ornithological aspects of the course benefit even the most
experienced birders and the workshop is invaluable for birders traveling
overseas.
The Bird Monitoring and Banding Workshop is designed for people with
little or no bird banding or bird in the hand experience and provides a
fantastic opportunity to see birds up close and personal, to learn about
their plumage, molt sequences and life habits.
Most of all, these workshops are designed to be a fun and interesting
experience and a way to take your interest in birds and the environment
to the next level. See what people who have attended the workshops have
to say and why the average rating from course participants is 9.5 out of
10!!
