City of Hillsboro Parks & Recreation Department
Park/Trail:
Learn to identify birds by their songs in Laura Whittemore's locally famous "Birding by Ear" class. After an indoor presentation to get your ears tuned up we go outside and listen carefully to the songs and calls around us: American robin, black-headed grosbeak, song sparrow, yellow warbler and more. Learn how to listen, how to find singing birds, which sounds males and females make, and how to make those sounds stick so you recognize them again.
