If you want to become a birder, join this class to learn the basics. Learn about binoculars, how to use a field guide, and the field marks used to identify common birds of the Chicago area. Then we’ll go out for a bird walk and try out your newly acquired skills. Bring binoculars if you have them. Dress for the weather.
