Summer Birding Hike
June 19, 2021 @ 8:00 am - 10:00 am
During this relaxing morning stroll, you will learn how to identify birds by their shape, flight patterns, calls, and habitat. We will also discuss how to effectively use essential tools like binoculars and bird identification guides. Feeling rusty on your birding skills? Not a problem, this class is perfect for beginners. We’ll catch a glimpse of violet-green swallows, barn swallows, warblers, white-tailed kites, acorn woodpeckers, and other birds that frequent Miwok Meadows.
Jerry Coe is a naturalist with over eight years of intensive training in ornithological field identification. He spent 15 years as a volunteer in Nevada’s Great Basin National Park, using bird activities to assess the health of habitats. Jerry has also guided outdoor expeditions all over the world.
