Description

Behind Birding
Birds are amazing creatures, not only because they look and sound beautiful, but because they behave in such varied and fascinating ways. In this new series instructed by ornithologist Scott Davies, we will study the biology behind many of these behaviors, giving you a new appreciation for the birds you see in the Garden, at home and in your travels.

Migration
Many birds are seen in the Garden as they migrate through Arizona. Learn what drives birds to attempt migration every year, flying thousands of miles, braving storms and food shortages, stopping only for a quick bite and a short nap.

  • Class enrollment limit: 24
