Hello CayugaBirders:
Northern Cardinals are singing. There are Eastern Phoebe reports form Stroudsburg and Youngstown, PA. Big Red and Ezra are checking out their tower. Sure, the temperature for the next 10 days is not forecast to break 30, but that does not stop the birds from doing their thing, and it shouldn't stop you for signing up for Spring Field Ornithology! The first class is in just over a month. Please help spread the word if you haven't already. Thank you!! -Marc ------------------------------------------------------- Spring Field Ornithology is an 8-week course designed for everyone from the complete beginner to the most avid birder. The course consists of: · *Wednesday night lectures*, including two visits to the bird collection of the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates and a nighttime 'owl prowl.' · *Saturday and Sunday field trips* to regional birding hotspots such as Braddock Bay Bird Observatory, Derby Hill Hawk Watch, Montezuma, Sapsucker Woods and Greensprings Preserve. · *One overnight and one weekend trip* to Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge and Magee Marsh, OH, respectively. Your instructors will be Steve Kress, Vice President for Bird Conservation for National Audubon, guest lecturers from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and local birding experts leading the weekly field trips. The field trips are organized by birding levels, with instruction tailored to the interests and abilities of each group. There is a sense of community that builds throughout the course, and many people enjoy the trips so much that they return to take them year after year with their friends! Enrollment is open to the general public, ages 12 and older. *You may sign up for just the lectures, the 8 weeks of guided field trips, just the overnights or all course sections. * See the website to watch a video about the course, look at photos, review the course schedule and enroll at: *http://www.birds.cornell.edu/sfo*<http://goog_1857098668> *.* <http://.> If you have questions, contact me at [email protected],<[email protected]>or call 607-254-2453.
