Upon return from Valkyr, Brooks and I attended Seattle Audubon's Birding 101 class. It was a lot of fun nerding out on birds for a few nights that week! This past fall, Brooks and I took the new scope down to Seward Park to do some waterfowl scoping. We also put up a hummingbird feeder and have been watching Anna's Hummingbirds come to feed and have identified their calls. Pretty fun new hobby we're dabbling in!
We learned about birding resources: books, online tools, apps, courses, Master Birder classes, and more:

Sept/October

Identification Books:
