These and many other questions will be answered during the semester. The main objective of the class is to give you an understanding and appreciation of the life of birds. These Saturdays are yet to be determined but will be posted on this site as soon as possible. The local field trips are a required component of the course since natural history involves living organisms. The purpose of the field trips is to study birds in their natural environment.
