The Birding classes scheduled for April and May have been cancelled.  Anyone that has already signed up for the class will be refunded the amount paid.  If feasible, these classes will be offered in the fall. 

Palomar Audubon Society is again offering bird classes on consecutive Tuesday evenings beginning Tuesday April 7, 2020. The first five classes will be for beginner/intermediate birders and the last four (starting Tuesday May 12th) will be for advanced birders. The classes will be integrated for registrants taking both classes. There will be four Saturday field trips.

Classes will start at 6:30 Pm and run for 90 minutes. They will be held at the Glassman Recreational Center at 18448 RB Community Center Drive off West Bernardo Drive (the large Casa De Las Companas Retirement Home is on the east side of this intersection).

The classes will cover the classification of birds, field markings of local birds, behavior, vocalization, tracking, and the different habitats in San Diego County.The advanced class will focus on additional aspects of vocalization and behavior.

Cost for the beginner/intermediate class is $80.00 and the cost for the advanced class is $70.00. Registration for both classes is $120.00.

The course will be led by Phoenix Von Hendy, a long-time birding leader in North County and a certified tracker naturalist. For questions about the course contact Richard  at rcfowler41@gmail.com . To register, complete the form below and send with check to
