The core of this six-week course will be the hundreds of images of birds by wildlife photographer and bird enthusiast Calvin Schnure, photographed on birding treks in the United States, Mexico, Europe, Morocco and the Sahara Desert.
The course uses these images to illustrate the wide diversity of species of birds; facets of bird behavior and life cycles, including courtship and mating, nesting, feeding, defending territory; migration and seasonal changes; bird songs; a surprising secret of how birds can fly; and more. The course will also help students build their own practice of observing and identifying birds, visually and by bird song.
