Birding Classes - Bay Area

2021 Birding Classes CVB

Nassau Bay is teaming up with League City and the Bay Area Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau to host a series of virtual birding classes. The classes are free and are available to anyone who is interested in learning about birding and where to bird in the Houston Bay area, including Nassau Bay, which is part of the Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail. Participants in the course will be poised and ready for the “Bay Area Bit Sit” on Saturday, May 15, which will introduce novice and expert birders to birding hot spots in the region.

Eight classes, taught by Texas Master Naturalist and Birding for Fun founder Kristine Rivers, will be held on Zoom over a period of eight weeks from March 22 through May 17. Registration is required to secure a spot in one or more of the classes. Once registered, participants will receive a Zoom link the day of each class. 

All classes will be held on Mondays from 7 to 8 p.m.
