I am teaching this class because I am enthusiastic about sharing my passion for birding with students! I researched bird calls, tracks, and bird characteristics extensively while writing the bird section and species checklist for my book, "Ohio Wildlife: A Coloring Field Guide." I have a master's degree in Ecological Leadership and Education, and an undergraduate degree in Environmental Studies and have taught classes about birds at nature centers, Raptor Festivals, schools, homeschool groups, and art centers.
