Hello new OBB-ers, and welcome to the 2009 edition of the COE-Outdoor Birding Basics class!

Updates about class as well as trip reports will be filed here throughout the course, and if you’re looking to learn about past classes’ successes feel free to page back into the back catalog of this blog.  Check out the tab at the top of the page titled “What to Wear” to get an idea about how to dress appropriately for the weather, and get ready to dive into Spring alongside the arriving birds.   Along the right side of the page are lists of links that provide resources to learn more about birds through listening to birdsongs, watching bird videos, reading on bird blog sites, and checking out the websites of various bird-related groups (like the Lab of Ornithology).

I’m looking forward to our biweekly birdwalks, and I hope you are too!
