Workshop 2: How to Listen and Learn from Birds
After a short review, we will study more rare but equally important forms of bird language, that is especially heard during Spring mating season. This session will include advanced tips for how to listen and learn from the birds as you sit in your backyard, as you take a walk around your block, or when you finally go on your bucket list trip to the Galapagos to hear Darwin’s finches using their specific adaptations of bird language.
