I will cover the basics of bird identification and give an introduction to various ways of keeping a nature journal. I will also provide a list of resources students can use to make their observations count for science. 
A typical class will proceed as follows:
5 minutes- Introductions & gathering materials
20 minutes- Explanation, demonstration, with student's questions encouraged and answered to the best of my ability.
5 minutes- I wrap it up with some review and encourage the students to go forth and learn from nature!

I have a Bachelor’s Degree of Science in Ecology/ Evolutionary Biology. I have worked as a wildlife biologist, a classroom/ lab instructor, and a research assistant for the Biosphere II Center in Arizona. I am passionate about environmental studies and nature.

Homework Offered
Assessments Offered
There is no formal assessment. I will provide some follow-up material appropriate to the student if any questions arise that I cannot answer in the class.
Grades Offered

Parents are encouraged to register their students as bird observers with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology program called eBird at https://ebird.org/science. And, if they are not confident or ready, I have an ongoing class where learners can ask questions and participate with others. This will be fun and beneficial to birds!
