This course will be taught by Lynn Hassler, birder for over 35 years, author of numerous books including Birds of the American Southwest, Hummingbirds of the American West, Roadrunners, and Gambels Quail, and educator on plants, birds, and desert ecology.
Course Description
Southeastern Arizona offers such excellent birding opportunities in part because of its variety of habitats. Elevation contrasts result in different temperature and moisture levels, which in turn make for different assemblages of plants and animals. Riparian areas support their own cast of avian characters. Come experience the fun of birding in different natural environments with instructor Lynn Hassler. One classroom session is followed by three field trips to different habitats: desert, riparian and Sky Island. Course limited to 12 participants.
