Participants will be introduced to birds that spend their winters in the Manhattan area. Winter birds include many types of waterfowl, raptors, finches, and sparrows. This course will include both classroom sessions and field trips to observe birds at local birding locations. Bird walks will be leisurely with frequent stopping to look or listen to the birds. Bringing binoculars to class is highly recommended, but not necessary for participation.
