Birding by Ear

Photo of a Spotted Towhee singing.Learn to identify birds by their songs in Laura Whittemore’s famous “Birding by Ear” class. After an indoor presentation to get your ears tuned up we go outside and listen carefully to the songs and calls around us: American robin, black-headed grosbeak, song sparrow, yellow warbler and more. The June class also explores the language of bird families as there will be many fledglings tended by parents to observe.
