Are you an aspiring or novice birder who is interested in increasing your knowledge of bird identification, as well as bird ecology and conservation? Join us for an exciting Birding and Bird Ecology online workshop.

This online workshop will introduce you to the tools and techniques needed to identify birds and enhance those skills by developing a foundation of bird ecology and conservation.  This workshop will focus on developing skills to identify 20-30 common species.

Dr. Eric Anderson is the Program Head of the Ecological Restoration BSc Program at the British Columbia Institute of Technology. Eric’s research focuses especially on the ecology and conservation of nearshore marine birds and their habitats along the Pacific Coast. Eric has taught bird identification and ecology for 25 years. During that time he’s had the good fortune to study and enjoy birds throughout much of North America.
