Cornell Bird Academy is having a sale on their courses.

We don’t do advertising on our blog (hope you noticed) but if some bird/nature oriented organization is doing something we think our readers may find interesting or useful, we’ll mention it. Cornell Labs does a lot for the birders of the world and a great deal of it is free (e.g. eBird), and the rest is reasonably priced. So if you want to learn more about birds and birding within the comfort of your own domicile, they’re a good place to deal with. Click the picture below. Your alternative, should you choose to accept it, is to come birding with us. (Link to calendar).

They’re listing 26 different courses at 20-50% discount. They also have seven bundles of 2-3 courses for additional savings. Of course, once you have any of these lessons on your computer (or on-line access or whatever), your whole family or your entire neighborhood could use it, should you be so lucky as to live where everyone is an avid birder. Here’s a screenshot of the first four courses.

Check it out. The sale ends 6 Jan 2026.
