Birds & Birding with Debbie Buehler
Learn the basics of birds and birding with ornithologist, Debbie Buehler.
Curious about the birds in your backyard or local park? Join us for an interactive session where we’ll explore the basics of birds and birding. We’ll talk about bird migration, anatomy, nests, eggs, and common bird types.
You'll also hear a bit about Debbie's own bird research and some of the incredible places she has worked, getting to know the landscapes that birds call home.
We’ll finish with some practical tips on how to identify birds and use binoculars. Then we’ll head outside to try it ourselves. Even in the quieter mid-afternoon hours of summer, we’re likely to spot familiar birds like robins and goldfinches. Great for beginners of all ages!
Bring the whole family and join our bird expert for a fun and fascinating talk all about birds! Debbie is an ecologist, educator, research analyst and author. She holds a Bachelor of Education and has a PhD in birds (well, Animal Ecology, but her study species were birds). She has performed bird research in Panama, Tierra del Fuego (Argentina), Mauritania, Europe, the USA and Canada (including the Arctic). She's recently released a book TIARIS: when the Oceans Kissed. Join Tiaris as she experiences the wonders of the tropics. The book is well researched and there are many bird references in it!
