What types of birds do we see in flight while walking around the Blairstown Campus? How have birds adapted to the environmental conditions found in this area? This course explores the rich variety of birds that make their home around Bass Lake and Blair Creek. Students will learn basic ornithology (the science and study of birds) while exploring the physics of flight and the environmental challenges that birds face due to human encroachment on their habitat.
