SUMMARY:Learning MORE CA Bird Sounds Registration – Birding Skills Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Click to download the Enrollment Form. Your enrollment envelope may be postmarked or hand-delivered no earlier than Mon., Dec. 7, 2026 (2-day penalty for earlier dates).\n\nLearning More CA Bird Sounds presented by Sylvia R. Gallagher\n\nGroups 5-7 Only \n\nClass Information:\n\nStarting Jan. 26-27, Sylvia Gallagher will offer the first half of the workshop, LEARNING MORE CALIFORNIA BIRD SOUNDS (LMCBS). It consists of a variety of birds, mainly Passerines, and will not require that you have studied Groups 1-4 of that workshop package. It will presume that you have installed and know how to use Raven Lite software (free from Cornell Lab. of Ornithology), version 2.0.3 or 2.0.5 and have fairly well learned the sounds in LEARNING CALIFORNIA BIRD SOUNDS (LCBS), the introductory sounds workshop. LCBS was most recently presented in Jan.- Mar. 2026. The appearances of the birds will not be considered. A list of the birds to be covered in the various LMCBS groups in the package.\n\nTwo sections (maybe 3) will be offered, each meeting, once a week, including holidays. We’ll proceed at a slower pace than the intro sounds workshop did, comparing the new birds with any LCBS birds they resemble. An ending date will not be announced, but it should be well before Memorial Day, but you, the students, will set the pace. The sections are:\nTues. mornings, 9:00 a.m. – ca. noon. Starts Jan. 26.\nWed. evenings, 7:00 – ca.10:00 p.m. Starts Jan. 27\nThurs. evenings, 7:00 – ca.10:00 p.m. Starts Jan. 28. (very likely to be canceled)\n\nFor those who need a refresher on Raven Lite, there will be an optional review session at 7 pm on Saturday evening, Jan. 24. To profit from this review session, you must have Raven installed and have carefully studied the directions for the use of the software that are included in the LCBS package.\n\nThe “textbook” for the workshop will be Sylvia’s sounds package, LEARNING MORE CALIFORNIA BIRD SOUNDS, which is available at Audubon House for ($39.00). If you have done groups 1-4, you don’t need to buy a new package.\n\nYour enrollment envelope may be postmarked or hand-delivered no earlier than Mon., Dec. 7, 2026 (2-day penalty for earlier dates). Enclose in your envelope the following three items: (1) the legibly filled out enrollment form below (2) a check, money order, or cashier’s check made out to Sea and Sage Audubon Society for $200.00, if you can afford it (installment plan OK) (3) a self-addressed stamped envelope. Mail your enrollment envelope to: LMCBS, Sylvia Gallagher, 21562 Kaneohe Ln., Huntington Beach, CA 92646. No emailed reservations will be accepted except at the very last minute–if any vacancies are left by then.\n\nThe maximum enrollment for each section is 21. If any section does not have at least 12 people enrolled by Jan. 6, it will be canceled. Reserve early though, because some sections may fill rapidly. Confirmation letters, including the section you are in, will be mailed on Monday, January 11. Where can YOU take us to hear these special birds?\n\nWe’d like to have a large number of informal field trips, led by workshop participants. You’ll be happy to learn that Mary\nHarward mary.harward@seaandsage.org ( mailto:mary.harward@seaandsage.org ) has agreed to coordinate them.\nWhere can YOU take us to hear these special birds?\n\nIf you have questions, contact Sylvia Gallagher at sjrgallagher@yahoo.com ( mailto:sjrgallagher@yahoo.com ) (preferred) or 714-962-8990.\nTechnical questions should go to Doug Lithgow at doug.lithgow@seaandsage.org ( mailto:doug.lithgow@seaandsage.org )
