[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club scholarships for youth and educators to learn about birds

2021-02-13 Thread Diane Morton
Please share this scholarship announcement with anyone you think may be
interested in applying for a scholarship for our upcoming course, Spring
Ornithology with Steve Kress. We hope to make the course available to
educators and young people who may be interested in birds but unable to
afford the course fee. Instead of the full $125 course fee for the
eight-week course, scholarship recipients will be asked to pay $15, which
includes Cayuga Bird Club membership.


*Applications for youth and young adults are welcome from people ages
14-25.*

*Applications for educators are welcome from teachers, naturalists, and
other youth mentors.*

*Spring Ornithology with Steve Kress* will be held by Zoom webinars on
Tuesday evenings, March 30 - May 18, 2021, 7 - 9 pm.

Course information and scholarship application forms are available for
download at www.cayugabirdclub.org/spring-ornithology.

Lectures by Dr. Stephen Kress, well-known for teaching a Spring Field
Ornithology course at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology for more than 40
years, will include discussion of bird migration, courtship, family life,
and conservation. Each weekly presentation features a group of birds that
are at the peak of their spring migration, with beautiful photos and sound
recordings. Lectures will also be recorded and shared with participants for
later viewing if they are unable to attend a session, or if they’d just
like to watch again to review. Dr. Kress is renowned for his entertaining
and engaging teaching style, and loves sharing his extensive knowledge of
bird life.


You may also request scholarship application materials by emailing
dianegmor...@gmail.com. The application deadline is March 1, 2021.
