Verde Valley Birding and Nature Festival: Bird Behavior

April 25, 2024 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

$15

Beginning with facts about migration, we’ll take a fast-paced look at a season’s worth of bird behavior to establish territory, attract a mate, build a nest, and raise a family. We’ll wrap up with a few examples of unusual behavior and tips for identifying some tricky birds by their behavior.

Cost: $15

Guide: Kathe Anderson 

Kathe is an avid birder, leading bird walks, teaching classes, and counting birds for several bird surveys to help real scientists with data collection. For over 15 years, she’s led hundreds of walks for individuals, conservation organizations, private groups, and life-long learning programs, and taught dozens of hands-on birding-related classes for organizations such as the Verde Valley Nature and Birding Festival, Southwest Wings Nature Festival, ASU’s Osher Life-long Learning Program, Arizona State Parks, the Desert Botanical Garden and others. She loves sharing her passion with others. She’s an active member of the Tucson and Phoenix-area Audubon Societies. If it’s not fun, it’s not worth it.

Location: Cottonwood Community Clubhouse
