      Whallonsburg Grange: Bird Language Lecture & Field Workshop

      April 21, 2013 By Editorial Staff Leave a Comment

      Learn about bird communication! (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

      Friday, May 3 at 7pm
      “Bird Language” lecture, with Connor Stedman
      Additional field workshops Saturday May 4 (full) and Sunday, May 5
      At Whallonsburg Grange Hall

      Attend, learn, and then perhaps the next birdsong you hear will have meaning!

      Do you know what that bird is saying?  Bird language is the communication network of the forest, long understood by trackers from around the world.  It offers a unique window into ecology, animal behavior, and the relationship between people and nature.  This evening’s presentation will introduce the core patterns of bird language through images, sound, and storytelling. (Whallonsburg Grange Hall)

      Suggested donation is $10.  No preregistration is necessary. This event is sponsored by Elizabeth Lee, Outdoor Guide and the Northeast Wilderness Trust.

      On Saturday, May 4, and Sunday, May 5, there will be a followup field workshop, “Observing and Interpreting Bird Language.” However you don’t have to attend the lecture to attend the workshop.

      Participants will build familiarity with local bird species; learn the “5 voices” of bird language and how to interpret them; practice field observation and movement skills; develop recognition of common bird language “signatures”; and leave with steps for further learning. (Northeast Wilderness Trust)

      Cost is $45.  Must pre-register.  The group will meet in the Essex, NY area (exact location will be provided upon registration).

      Unfortunately the Saturday workshop is full. However, the Sunday, May 5th (9am-4pm) workshop is still accepting attendees! Contact Elizabeth Lee at lakeside5047@gmail.com for registration information.
