Do you wonder what wild birds are around in winter? Join us for this family friendly hike to learn about how our avian friends habituate and communicate during the chiller months.

This class will teach you how to identify different bird songs, but also to interpret the subtleties of their dialogue to understand how and why they are communicating.

Learn from Laura Marsh, a field ornithologist who has spent most of her career observing bird behavior, as we dive into the unique world outside of our own human perspective and shift to a different dialogue: The language of birds. She holds the belief that once we understand what nature is trying to tell us, then we can work to preserve & protect it.

Meet at the Dog Park at Greenway Farms.
