Birding Courses

RPBO is delighted to be working with the Victoria Natural History Society to offer two birding courses in Spring 2012. Here's your chance to support both organizations while learning about our local birds. These programs will be taught by experienced trip leaders who have volunteered their time. Victoria Natural History Society members receive a discount on the course registration fee.

Beginning Birding

An easy introduction to the pursuit of birding for those with little or no previous experience. The emphasis will be on bird identification in the field. We will start with an illustrated lecture on March 1, 2012, and follow with six Saturday morning field trips from March 3 to April 14. The cost will be $95 ($65 for RPBO and VNHS members). Details

Beyond Beginning Birding

Take the next step beyond the basics of identification. Our group of local VNHS and RPBO experts places an emphasis on birding by ear and the identifiying field marks of more difficult groups and species. This course includes very diverse field sessions around Victoria led by eight different leaders. Sessions run on Sunday mornings, beginning on April 15, 2012, with the two long weekends skipped. The last session will be June 10. The cost is $105 ($75 for RPBO and VNHS members). Details
