Just finished an awesome weekend workshop at Cincinnati Nature Center on bird language. We will be doing another workshop on bird language with CNC on April 20-21.

Connecting Naturally is co-sponsoring a bird language weekend with Cincinnati Nature Center. The workshop is scheduled for Saturday, September 29 from 8am to 4pm and Sunday, September 30 8am to 12 noon. We will use techniques learned in a training seminar last February with Jon Young. Bill Creasey, chief naturalist at CNC and a great birder, will be leading this workshop.
Whether you are new to birding or an experienced bird watcher this course will introduce you to routines to delve deeper into understanding how bird language helps you interpret the patterns of nature. For a more detailed explanation check out birdlanguage.com.

BIRD LANGUAGE WEEKEND 9/29/12 & 9/30/12 | Cincinnati Nature Center Within a day and a half, this workshop will help you see and hear what is happening in the natural world around you through birds. No need to know any bird calls as we help you sort out the differences between: song, contact calls, begging, aggression, and alarm.
