Lincoln-Sudbury Adult & Community Education

Have you ever wondered if that “tweet” is from a cardinal or a chickadee? Join this class to learn the language spoken by our feathered friends. Our birding expert, Michele Grzenda, will start with a few basic bird songs as a reference, then add to your repertoire with repetition and practice. You’ll learn the types of sound birds make and why they make them, and explore common bird songs heard in MA. Each class will focus on approximately 10-15 different birds.

Get outdoors and learn to identify 25 species commonly found in our neighborhoods, wetlands, and forests. Michele Grzenda, Naturalist, will point out various field identification techniques by sight and sound. This easy-to-moderate walk is designed for beginner and intermediate bird watchers. While we can never guarantee that you'll see a particular species, you'll enjoy getting outside and exploring a local area. No binoculars? No problem - Michele has a few pairs for students to borrow.
