Join instructor, Robin Roberts, on this exploration of birds of Big Morongo Canyon Preserve which is held during peak spring migration season. Big Morongo Canyon Preserve is an internationally renowned venue with over 280 recorded species of birds. This 3-hour introductory class is designed for the beginning birder who has a desire to become better equipped to identify birds by their visual appearance, behavior, foraging techniques, habitat location, and auditory clues. The key species that we will focus on are resident and migratory birds that pass through Big Morongo Canyon Preserve. The first 2-hours of the class will be devoted to understanding our connections to birds, developing skills in identifying them, and learning how our observations can assist researchers. This class component will be conducted in our Nature Center. The third hour will be spent walking around the preserve observing and listening to the birdsongs that surrounds us.
