In addition to learning the basics of bird watching, we'll visit a California Gull colony and observe chick banding, explore citizen science activities, and check out the abundant waterbird species on the refuge. This course is a great way for educators to learn how to incorporate birds and bird conservation into their activities. It is not a bird i.d. course, and we'll focus on about one dozen species to teach the basics of bird watching.

Don't forget that we add new materials to the EFTA website regularly. These materials are free and downloadable. This month, we've added an event flyer and are putting the final touches on a PowerPoint presentation. Our on-line store also has many education materials, including activity books, event materials, and field guides.
