SUMMARY:Beginning Birding with Morro Coast Audubon
DESCRIPTION:This program is especially designed for beginners who would like to learn to recognize the beautiful birds of the Botanical Garden and the Central Coast. Practice making observations and learn to use binoculars\, spotting scopes\, and field guides. We’ll share resources available for ongoing skill building. \nThe morning of the workshop we’ll have taxidermy specimens\, a slide presentation\, and lots of time to ask questions. We’ll provide you with handouts to help you with your notes. There will be a short break for lunch and then we will go on a bird walk around the gardens to practice your new skill. If it’s raining\, we’ll practice indoors. \nAdults and children 9 and over are welcome to attend. \nBring binoculars if you have them. We will have a few loaner binoculars and a variety of guidebooks to assist you.\nBring a lunch\, snacks\, and bottled water. Dress for the weather. Your class fee gives you access to the Garden all day. \nWe offer a $10 discount for SLO Botanical Garden and Morro Coast Audubon Society members. Please enter “member10off” (for SLOBG members) or “audubon10off” (for Audubon Society members). Enjoy! \nAbout your Morro Coast Audubon Society Instructors: \n \nRobbie Revel has always had a love of nature and science and an insatiable curiosity. She had a 48-year teaching career in high school science and was Director of Quest in Science\, an elementary hands-on science program. Retired and active in the volunteer community\, she loves to share nature and her passion for birds with others. Robbie is the Executive Director of the Morro Bay Bird Festival and serves on the board of the Morro Coast Audubon Society as Field Trip Chair and actively leading bird walks. \n \nKaren Watts has a bachelor’s degree in Biology from UCSB and a master’s degree in science education from Cal State East Bay. She is a former molecular biologist and high school science teacher. When she moved to the Central Coast she re-invented herself as a naturalist and has never looked back. She enjoys the best of two worlds\, living part time on the Central Coast and part time at her mountain retreat in north Georgia. She is active in education programs for students of all ages and is a Morro Coast Audubon walk leader. Her special passion is teaching new birders about the tools they need to feel comfortable birding and to improve their birding skills.
