Will try this again.
I am thinking about running a course at the local community college as
an
introduction to bird-watching. I will probably run it as a couple of
hours
in the evening on basics, then a couple of sunday mornings in the local
national parks to give some practice to the theory.
I have two questions for everyone.
1. Has anyone ever run/participated in such a course? If so what worked,
what didn't and what did you achieve from the course. I think I have
most of
the basics covered, but if anyone has any likely things that get missed
they
would be appreciated.
2. What is the best tip that you have been given when you started or
what is
a tip that you give to new birders? I generally say once you are over
the
basics then learning calls makes the process much easier, because you
can
eliminate all the common species and target the calls you don't
recognise.
Any other such tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Peter
