You&rsquo;ve figured out how binoculars work. You have a good idea of where to look when you hear a bird, and you can tell ducks from hawks, herons, and finches. What&rsquo;s the next step? Take your birding skills to the next level with this class led by expert Joan Tague.&nbsp;We&rsquo;ll take a deeper dive into birding and explore the seasonal changes in Florida&rsquo;s bird populations, with a focus on the birds you&rsquo;re likely to see throughout the winter. After a short classroom introduction, we&rsquo;ll head into the park in search of birds spending the winter in Florida.&nbsp;In the field, we&rsquo;ll explore the finer points of bird identification, learn about the importance of habitat, and, of course, have a good time!&nbsp;Previous attendance at Beginning Birding is not required.&nbsp;Time: 9:00 a.m. &ndash; 11:00 a.m.&nbsp;Meet at: Tomoka State Park Recreation Hall, across from the Tomoka Outpost.&nbsp;What to Bring: Sturdy, closed-toe shoes, water, snacks, sunscreen, insect repellent, and binoculars.
