That’s right, our new course, Birding for Beginners, is available now!
This course will help you develop the foundational skills needed to start birding. You’ll learn about helpful tools like binoculars and guide books, and learn how to start identifying birds using size, shape, behaviours, habitats, colours and sounds. This online course is self-guided, free, and will take you around 1-3 hours to complete. And the best part is that you’ll learn these skills with some of the most common birds found across Canada
This is just the beginning. Birding for Beginners is available on our new educational website: Birds Canada Learn. The following courses are available now:
