Connie Sidles, ,who lives in the neighborhood and serves on the Laurelhurst Community Club, (whose new website is now fully accessible and updated) is continuing her Seattle Audubon birding class this week with two more remaining sessions.
The information says:
Winter Waterfowl for Intermediate Birders with Connie Sidles- Wednesdays in January. Class can be accessed by listening to class recordings, following each class, which are available until 2/27.
Everybody knows a Mallard, right? And Northern Shovelers are those guys with big bills, while Buffledheads are the little black-and-white 'rubber duckies." But do you *really* know your waterfowl, even the so-called easy ones? Can you identify each species by gender, in eclipse, in flight, and by voice?
Western Washington is the winter home for more than three dozen different species of swans, geese, and ducks.
As an intermediate birder, it's possible to know them all, in all their guises. Let master birder Connie Sidles take you on a virtual journey through our state's waterways to discover the ins and outs of our winter waterfowl.
Constance Sidles is a master birder and long-time member of the Seattle Audubon Society. She has written four books about nature focusing on her the Montlake Fill, also known as the Union Bay Natural Area. at the Center for Urban Horticulture.
Her most recent book, Forty-Six Views of Montlake Fill includes poems and Sumi paintings about "finding joy in the connections we make with nature and with each other."
