January Birding Basics: Birding at Home and Beyond
w. Seth Chapman


Warm up with a hot cup of chai and take delight in the birds this month at the Ayurvedic Wellness Center! Spend the morning with passionate birder, Seth Chapman, and learn best practices to observe birds at home and in the field. Whether you live in a downtown apartment, or a country cottage with an extensive garden, birding can begin at home.

This class is intended to lay the foundation for successful observation of birds wherever you may find yourself. Topics of discussion include bird food basics, birdfeeders, bird gardens, and essential gear for those times when going afield.

This three part series is recommended for those who wish to gain a deeper understanding of how to care for guests that visit your home, and how to spot and positively identify species in the wild. These classes are also good support for birding hikes, which takes place in the warmer months.

Seth has a lifelong passion for birds, and loves sharing his enthusiasm of the bird world with those around him. His interest in birds led him to begin his life list at the age of 10. Seth also volunteers at a local nature center where he monitors nestboxes, as well as volunteers at a bird banding station.
