Online Education Class via Zoom
Join Whidbey Audubon Society member Dyanne Sheldon to discuss the variety of Habitats of Whidbey Island and how their features influence which birds use each through the year.
This one-hour Zoom class will explore the characteristics of forests, open lands, fresh water and saltwater/shore habitats from the perspective of bird utilization. Advance your birding skills by learning how habitat characteristics influence what you’re likely to see. Locations for accessing public lands with particular habitat types will be discussed as well as what birds are often found in these locations. Additional time will be provided to ask questions and engage directly during the session.
Dyanne Sheldon is a retired restoration ecologist and wetland biologist who worked in Washington State for 25 years. Her professional focus was on wetland science and management, but as a birder and natural historian she is well acquainted with the various habitats of the Pacific Northwest. Dyanne is a long-time resident of Whidbey Island, Whidbey Audubon Member and instructor for the Birds of Whidbey course.
