Birding 201 with Nic Salick
Botna Bend Park, Pottawattamie County
Saturday, October 14, 2017
Join Pheasants Forever biologist and experienced birder Nic Salick for a birding class and field trip on October 14th starting at 7:30 a.m.
Birding 201 will include a classroom and field session and will provide more advanced knowledge and skills for birders already possessing some experience with identifying birds.
The classroom portion will take place at the Macedonia City Hall Community Room located at 322 Main Street in Macedonia, Iowa. During the class we'll focus our efforts on more advanced ID techniques such as behaviors, vocalization, species' natural histories, and habitat associations. In the field we will take a firsthand look at what we discussed as we traverse Wheeler Grove Conservation Area, a 247 acre Pottawattamie County preserve possessing a unique blend of oak woodland, riparian, and grassland avian habitats.
Attendees should plan to bring and use their own set of binoculars. Attendees should note: The field session of the class will occur outdoors and may, at times, require pedestrian travel over difficult terrain. This program is being offered as part of our adult education programming, we ask that attendees be 14 years of age or older.
The fee for this class is $20.00 per person. Pre-registration is required and space is limited, early registration is recommended. Register online in minutes or call 712-545-3283 for more information.
In addition, the class attendees will have the opportunity to sign up for a discounted Pottawattamie Conservation Foundation membership.
While this event is human friendly it is not pet friendly. Please leave your canine friends at home. Service animals are always welcome.
Weather permitting.
