Tracy Aviary’s Conservation Science Program is offering a 6-month class on the birds of Utah. The instructor, Bryant Olsen, is one of the most well-respected bird authorities in the region. Bryant has been birding for over twenty years, and was the recipient of the 2017 Utah Birder of the Year Award. Class participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the many bird species present in Utah. Bryant will teach about when and where to find each species, import identification tips to differentiate between birds, their ecological roles and behaviors, and the evolutionary relationships between species. This class is designed for intermediate to advanced birders who want to increase their birding skill and gain a better understanding of bird identification and ecology. Some basic understanding of birds is assumed.

Classes run from August 22, 2024 to January 9, 2025. For this virtual option, you will get access to the class recording by the end of Friday each week. There is NOT a live Zoom. All class videos will be posted to our Birds of Utah class webpage, so you can access these videos anytime to watch or review. We will share more details by email.

Space is unlimited for the virtual class. Join at any time and receive access to all the recorded classes. Field trips are not included.
