with Dr. Cin-Ty Lee
Once again Dr. Cin-Ty Lee has volunteered to teach a bird identification workshop as a fundraiser to help support birding programs at the Nature Discovery Center – this one on wintering Sparrows in the area! All proceeds will go directly to the Nature Discovery Center.
This workshop will feature a one evening sparrow identification lecture, followed by an all day field trip to several places in the greater Houston area to look for some of our over-wintering sparrows.
Workshop Details:
Lecture: Wednesday, January 31 at 7 pm at the Nature Discovery Center
Field Trip: Saturday, February 3 at 7 am and continue through lunchtime, with the possibility of going longer if people want to keep birding. Car-pooling is recommended. Specific birding locations will be selected by Dr. Lee closer to the date of the field trip.
