Beginning Birding class starts on May 8

Ever wonder what those little tweeting yellow guys are in your backyard? Now’s your chance to find out — in our spring Beginning Birding class.

With four evening classroom sessions and four Saturday morning field trips, this class is a perfect way to start learning about birds or to improve your existing birding skills.

Instructor Anne Hoff will familiarize you with the tools of the trade — binoculars, field guides, scopes, and more. She’ll show you places to watch birds in the Bay Area, and help you learn to identify the birds of the bay and uplands. Singing, breeding birds in their most colorful plumage make spring a particularly inviting season for birdwatching. Class includes:

Four Wednesday evenings — 7 to 8:30 p.m. — May 8, 15, 22, 29

Four Saturday field trips — 8 to 10:30 a.m. — May 11,18, 25, and June 1

Cost: $85 for Golden Gate Bird Alliance members, $105 for non-members

This class will take place at the Golden Gate Bird Alliance office at 2530 San Pablo Avenue, Suite G, in Berkeley (at Blake).
