						1 New England Bird Behavior Workshop New England Bird Behavior Workshop April 29, 2022 - May 1, 2022 The Ecology School, 184 Simpson Rd, Saco, ME 04072, USA Have you ever wondered what birds are saying? Maybe you’ve noticed that a tufted titmouse has dozens of calls or that a blue jay can mimic a hawk. What are the birds thinking when they select a specific call? Are there other things happening in the surroundings that you can’t see or hear that the birds know about? YES! What is the New England Bird Behavior Workshop? This weekend course designed to teach you how tune into different bird calls and sounds, to identify birds by their various calls and to interpret bird behavior. Spend a long weekend with our White Pine naturalist community. Beginners and experts alike come together to observe and share their knowledge and love for the birds.
