Don’t miss your chance to learn bird sounds and enjoy the outdoors in a unique way. This two-part class is for birders who want to learn a new skill or how to bird in a new way. The class is fully accessible for people who are blind or visually impaired. Birding by Ear is part of Madison Audubon Society’s Audubon Naturalists Series. The classes will be taught by: Kerry Wilcox, a biologist.
“Everyone in my group was very interested and excited about learning,” notes a former participant. “Everyone was so willing to share what they knew.”
Participants are encouraged to bring a friend or family member to serve as a sighted guide and learning partner. There is no charge for the person you bring as your sighted guide. Those without a sighted guide will be paired with volunteer guides, if desired. Service dogs are welcome.
