The Evergreen State College is offering a summer course in Field Ornithology in July-August 2023. Below is a general description of the course with links providing more information.<span class="ContentPasted0" style="margin:0px"> </span><span class="ContentPasted0" style="margin:0px"> </span>This
course would be suitable for people interested in learning common field methodologies used to study birds including bird banding, point-counts/transect-surveys, and bioacoustics monitoring. It is relatively easy to<span class="ContentPasted0" style="margin:0px"> </span><span class="ContentPasted0" style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 20);">register

<span class="ContentPasted0" style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 20);">Birds undertake a suite of distinct activities over the course of their annual life cycle, including breeding, molt, and migration. Understanding the varying strategies deployed by different
bird species to complete these activities offers important conservation-related insights. Differences in strategies reveal the constraints they face in an environment changing with advancing climate disruption. The variety of habitats in the Washington Cascade
Mountains offers an opportunity to explore such strategies in depth through intensive field ornithology. This class provides an opportunity to develop ornithological field skills while collecting data on variation in evolutionary strategies for breeding,
molting and migration through the application of observational and hands-on ornithological techniques, including an intensive bird-netting and banding operation at a variety of elevations from riparian scrub to montane meadows.</span> </p>
