Bird sounds part 1 (indoor workshop)

Trip# 251: Bird sounds part 1 (indoor workshop)
Tags:
Description: Bird vocalization is nature's language and bird songs are nature's music. We can plug into this magic no matter how good we are at finding birds with our eyes—these sounds are already coming at us from 360 degrees. The focus of this workshop is to increase our birding enjoyment by improving our skills as auditory birders. Some prior experience trying to identify birds by ear will surely be useful, but motivation to learn is more important than experience; all experience levels are welcome. We will explore the principles of cognizing and describing bird vocalizations in general as well as become familiar with specific vocalizations of common birds in the Mono Basin. This workshop is a prerequisite for the Saturday and Sunday Bird sounds field trips (313 and 403).
