Birding Basics and Tools of Being a Birder

Presented by Ken Wiersema and Bob Iddins

October 5, 2019 from 10 a.m. – noon

Meet at the Dungeness River Audubon Center

Cost $5

Our first program of the 2019 – 2020 Backyard Birder series will be led by two birding veterans, who will offer their views on the basic skills of birding, some ID tips, discussion of birding optics, the pros and cons of field guides, information on the e-bird system, mobile birding apps — and much more. So join us for the launch of our new program year. For more information contact Ken Wiersema at (360) 460-5515.

Backyard Birding can be taken either as individual classes or in a series. The cost of each session is $5. Admission is free for anyone under 18. For participants attending five sessions in the annual series, OPAS offers a complementary one-year membership.
