40 Fall Shorebirds: Intermediate ID with Connie Sidles 

Thursdays, August 6, 13, 20, 27 from 7:00-8:30pm 

$60 sliding scale fee; pay what you can* 

If you've been confused, amused, and otherwise disabused of the notion that you'll ever be able to identify fall shorebirds, have no worries. Master Birder Connie Sidles will take you through the 40 most common fall shorebirds of western Washington in four classes designed to tune you up for this fall's migration. 

The juvenile birds who hatched in the Far North will be coming through our state in late summer through fall. With the help of this class, you should be able to meet the challenge of identifying these incredible migrants, who bring with them a whiff of the far-off tundra and a hint of the places they have still to go. This class is for intermediate-level birders who are already familiar with the basics of birding and bird identification. 

Note: this class is only offered as a 4-session package. All sessions will be recorded & shared with registrants. Class recordings will be emailed to registrants after each session; access to the recordings will expire Monday, September 7, 2020.

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."
