Summer Programs - Birding 101 for Kids

Sponsored By:
The University of Texas Marine Science Institute (www.utmsi.utexas.edu)
The Coastal Bend Audubon Society (www.coastalbendaudubon.org)
We are offering 3 birding classes to students aged 7-16 years at 3 different locations around the Coastal Bend.  These introductory classes are designed to help students identify birds as well as give students a greater awareness of the environment.  Students will learn how to use binoculars, how to identify birds using field marks, make a bird feeder and sketch a bird or plant just like the famous ornithologist, James Audubon.

Students are asked to bring their own binoculars if possible but we do have 8 pairs that we can loan out on a first come basis.  Please dress for the weather and wear sunscreen, hat etc. 

Classes are free.  To register: contact Linda Fuiman (see opposite).
