Two Nes Classes offered through Sebastopol Community Center:

Birds of Sonoma County (Breeding Birds)

 

 Explore different areas of Sonoma County while learning about the local bird life.  Summer is the season when our local resident birds have set up nests and the young fledglings are out.  Our first class session will be a slide presentation of birds we will be likely to encounter – their songs and their habitats.   Then we will meet every Sunday morning  at the community center and travel together to a new location where we will be sure to find exciting birds!  Bring binoculars, field guide,  layered clothing, comfortable shoes, water and lunch.

Sundays (June 24 – July 15) 7:30am to 12:30pm

 

  Birds of Sonoma County (Shorebirds)

 

Every  August, thousands of shorebirds descend from their northerly Arctic breeding grounds and pass through the marshes of Coastal California.  Learn how to recognize Long-billed Curlews,  Black Oystercatchers,  Least Sandpipers, and many more shorebirds.  We even learn how to tell the adult birds from the juvenile birds.    Our first class session will be a slide presentation of shorebirds we will be likely to encounter.    Then we will meet every Sunday morning  at the community center and travel together to a new location where we will be sure to find and study these birds!  Bring binoculars, field guide,  layered clothing, comfortable shoes, water and lunch.
