CNMAS Audubon Birding Academy

For the next three meetings, in place of our regular meetings, Central New Mexico Audubon Society will offer a series of bird identification classes conducted by some of New Mexico's most accomplished birdwatchers.

Just in time for Spring migration, learn or refresh your memory about the basics of behavior, habitat preference, and physical characteristics of Sparrows, Shorebirds, and Warblers found in our state. Get in the spirit of birding and bring along your binoculars and field guides to use during the slide shows.

All classes will be held at St. Timothy's Lutheran Church located at the corner of Copper and Jefferson NE. Please arrive early, doors open at 7:00 pm, to enjoy refreshments and meet other members. Classes will start promptly at 7:30 pm. Preregistration is requested. For more information, call Pat at 856-7443.

The cost is only $5.00 per class payable in advance or at the door.

Preregister for all three classes and the price is only $12.00 (saves 20%).
