Dr. Steve Kress, Vice President for Bird Conservation for the National Audubon Society, along with other Lab Staff, hosts Wednesday evening lectures on topics such as “How to identify birds and use binoculars,” “Bird song and courtship,” “Gardening for birds,” “Eggs & Nests,” and “Neotropical songbird conservation.” Lectures regularly feature color slides, audio recordings, and video presentations.
Weekend field trips visit habitats like Sapsucker Woods, Dryden Lake, Derby Hill, Braddock Bay, and Cornell University’s Arnot Forest. For an additional cost, students may choose to participate in one or both special overnight birding extravaganzas to the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge in Seneca Falls, NY, and an overnight bus trip to the Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge (one of the premiere birding locales in the East) in Oceanville, NJ, and Cape May, NJ.
