The winter/spring session of the Hilton Head Audubon Society's Birding 101 course starts soon. It's a great way to get introduced to the hobby of birding. Details below:

• Where: Coastal Discovery Museum
• When: Saturdays; Jan. 25, Feb. 1, 15, 29, and April 11, 2020; all sessions are 9 a.m. - 12 p.m.
• Limit: 20 participants
• Fees: $40 for members, $50 for non-members

Designed for beginning birders, Birding 101 introduces participants to a number of topics that will increase their general knowledge of local birds and bird identification. A series of classroom sessions will feature interactive lectures and hands-on exercises to describe bird anatomy, bird taxonomy, feathers, vocalizations, migration, field guides, binoculars and more.

Field trips to various habitats on the Island will reinforce classroom materials and put into practice the bird identification techniques we’ll learn. Each participant will receive a copy of Sibley’s Birding Basics book, which we will use throughout the course.
