Introduction To Birding 2

  • China Camp State Park, Turtleback Trailhead 100 China Camp Village Road San Rafael, CA, 94901 United States (map)

Join our beginning birding class with naturalist Jerry Coe. No birding experience needed! This is a follow-up meeting to March’s Intro to Birding class, though everyone is welcome to join, even if you did not join in on Part 1. Also, if you are an advanced birder, you are welcome to come and enjoy the outing.

During our stroll in China Camp, you will learn how to identify common birds in the field and how to effectively use binoculars and bird identification guides. We will explore birds of the oak woodland habitat and marsh, seeing  raptors, bushtits, wrens, and much more!

Jerry Coe is a naturalist with over eight years of intensive training in ornithological field identification. He spent 15 years as a volunteer in Great Basin National Park, Nevada doing Point Count Surveys using bird activities to assess the health of habitats. He has also guided outdoor expeditions all over the world.
