Birds are the alarm system of the forest. Through their vocalizations and movement, birds broadcast the drama happening on the land. Come to the evening lecture for an introduction to bird language or sign up for the series to practice in the field. Field component involves a bird walk, a bird sit and introduction to bird language mapping. Participants need to join the lecture to attend the field class.
