These free workshops are open to all levels and help customers learn how to identify four different species of birds per season. We’ll review each species’ behaviors, food and habitat preferences plus species vocalizations. Workshops will take place at the Los Gatos Birdwatcher outside in our back parking lot, so please bring your own chair and field guide. Limited to 30 people.
