Ornithology. 4

Catalog description

This field-oriented course introduces students to the scientific study of birds, including broad concepts in avian biology, bird identification, and field research techniques. Through a combination of in-class learning, field trips, and student-led research projects, students will gain an understanding of avian ecology, anatomy, physiology, and behavior. During this course we will spend a significant amount of time in the field. Some semesters this course may be taught on campus and in other semesters as a study abroad experience.
