Taking Flight: An Introduction to the World of Birds: A CAU program led by Kyle Horton

Sunday, July 7, 2019

Cornell Campus

July 7-13, 2019

Comprising 220 acres of woods, marshes, and ponds, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Sapsucker Woods Sanctuary is a national treasure. On early morning excursions there, we'll study the color and song, habits, and habitats of a wealth of birds, from the tiny Ruby-Throated Hummingbird to the Pileated Woodpecker.

Our amazing guide, Kyle Horton, a Rose Postdoctoral Fellow at the Lab of Ornithology, will lead us during bird walks, seminars, hands-on activities such as banding, and an excursion to the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge. Come explore avian biology and learn what makes birds so fascinating.

This program is part of Cornell’s Adult University (CAU), which offers education vacations designed and led by Cornell faculty. Programs include off-campus travel adventures and weeklong on-campus summer courses open to all, including Cornell alumni, families, and friends.
