Hone your birding skills with naturalist Zach Adams. Birding by ear is an effective and exciting tool in bird identification. Join Zach at BBG, walk the grounds and learn to identify bird species by call and song. This in-person event is presented in collaboration with Mass Audubon Pleasant Valley. Space is limited, so register early. 

Zach Adams has been studying birds since his childhood, when he fell in love with the sounds of wood ducks and redwing blackbirds in the marshes. He holds a BS in Environmental Science from Juniata College and has worked as an educator and program leader since the age of 16. From reptiles and amphibians to live birds of prey, he enjoys teaching on any topic in nature. Since November 2018, Zach has been a Teacher Naturalist for Mass Audubon’s Berkshire Sanctuaries, where he leads programs in birding, hiking, tracking and canoeing. He is passionate about ornithology and the opportunity to share his love for birds with everyone around him. Each bird song is a glimpse into a different world, and you’re bound to smile when you hear your first warbler sing.
