Once you learn to identify birds\, you can become part of a growing number of citizen scientists who support conservation of our feathered friends. \nInstructor: Pat Jamieson is a retired National Bison Range ranger. While there she taught people of all ages about the flora and fauna of the Bison Range. Pat continues to work with UM\, MNHC\, and other groups to lead bird programs and tours. \nWhat to Bring: \n\nClothes appropriate for changing weather conditions – layers\, sun or shine\, sunscreen\, hat\, sunglasses\nWater and snacks\nBinoculars (optional\, we have some to borrow)\nBird field guide (optional\, we have some to borrow)\nThere are a few free apps from Cornell University that help with birding (Merlin) and with contributing to citizen science (eBird). You can download those on your phone. Pat will demonstrate how to use these if folks want to follow along (optional)\n\nCost:  \n$35/$30 MNHC members. Some scholarships are available. Please call 406.327.0405 to inquire.  \nWhat’s the refund policy? \nThe course fee (minus a 25% administrative fee) is refundable if a cancellation is made up to 7 days before the event. No refunds will be issued for cancellations made after this deadline. See our full refund/cancellation policy here. \nDo I have to bring my printed ticket to the event? \nNope!
