The dawn chorus of bird songs can be one of the most uplifting parts of spring. At this combined workshop and bird walk, learn why and how birds vocalize, the difference between songs and calls, and what qualities to look for to tell different species' songs apart.After this general introduction to the world of bird sounds, we'll go outside to practice our ability to describe and make sense of these sounds on the landscape. Rather than trying to identify every single sound we hear, we'll focus on learning to recognize a handful of local bird sounds by heart. You'll also get tips related to the popular Merlin app's "Sound ID" feature: its strengths, challenges, and ways to use it to supplement your learning.
The outdoor component of this program will cover less than 0.5 miles of distance and will be largely stationary once we reach our destination for quiet listening. The trail surface is wide, level or gradually sloping, and gravel-paved.
