[Note:  We have taught this class annually for the past five years. It will likely be offered again in February 2012. Watch for the announcement in late fall or early winter.]

This spring, SMBAS will offer a five-session field course in bird identification.The course is designed to help new or novice birders improve their observational skills while learning how to identify some of the species commonly found in the Los Angeles basin.

Beginning in February, 2011, the Saturday morning classes take place outside among the birds. Each class meets in a different  local park or natural area so that participants may gain experience with the relationship between habitats and the species that rely on them.

Enrollment is limited to 8.  A donation of $50 per SMBAS member or $75 per non-member will be requested.  For further information, please contact Chuck at webinfo49 [AT] att.net or 310-617-8904.   [Chuck Almdale]
