Are you interested in birds? Do you want to learn more? Then sign up for the annual Beauty of Birds course.

"Bird Habitats in the Flathead" is the theme of the 2009 Beauty of Birds course. Audubon volunteers and local bird experts will present four evening classes that focus on the different habitats in which local bird species may be found. Classes will be held Wednesday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m. at Flathead High School.

Class speakers and topics will include Chris Peterson and "Forest Birds after the Fires" on April 1, Bruce Tannehill and "Birds of Riparian Areas" on April 15, and Amy Jacobs with "Loons and Loon Look-alikes" on April 22. Dan Casey and Josh Covill will lead a field trip to Smith Lake on the last evening of the course, April 29, during which participants will apply their bird identification skills.

For more information and to sign up, please call Flathead High School at 751-3500. There is a $10 registration fee. Sign up early, as space is limited. Everyone is welcome.
