Please click on the below flyer to read it. We're focused currently on the following themes for this "sold out" ZOOM class (that, normally, would include several all-day field trips):
- Bird song ecology related to courtship and defense
- Reading sonograms/spectrographs
- Creating individual class presentations (i.e., Each student presents the song ecology and life cycle behavior of a designated songbird species)
- Learning to identify 10 or more species by "ear" only, while also knowing how to create a corresponding sonogram.
- In total, per the syllabus, students are finishing five different activities centered on the song repertoires of local, SF Bay Area songbirds. Each is "hands-on" with them exploring their environs in between classes as they go afield to execute assigned field assignments.
For future classes, contact instructor Daniel Edelstein with questions (danieledelstein@att.net) and see his web site (WarblerWatch.com) to learn more about his background as an Avian Biologist since the 1980s and a Merritt College instructor for bird classes since 2003.
