Observing and Photographing Birds in the Rocky Mountains with Mike Masse
This course explores the birdlife of Rocky Mountain National Park and its surrounding areas, focusing on the species commonly found in the region. You’ll learn the basics of bird anatomy, key field marks, and typical behaviors. We’ll cover which birds to expect in the Park’s diverse habitats and life zones. While our main focus is on locating, observing, and identifying birds, we’ll also discuss tips for photographing them. Each day will include time in the field for birdwatching and photography.
