                                    This new Master Class series introduces birders to the joy of journaling, inviting us to slow down, look closer, and record the wonder we encounter. Join Barbara Swanson as she opens the door to sketching and writing as a joyful practice for all birders, no experience needed. Later, in a guided field session, use your new journaling skills to create more immersive, memorable experiences. By week's end, you'll carry home a notebook full of memories and a more mindful way of seeing birds and the natural world. 
The field trip that accompanies this class is from 1:00 - 2:30 pm at Santee Lakes. Please remember to sign up for the field trip, too!
