BIO 345 Field Ornithology Lecture

Field Ornithology is an excursion-based, experiential learning opportunity with the goal of teaching students about birds and their habitats. Bird identification, anatomy, physiology, behavior, and biogeography are introduced in the classroom, and reinforced in the field. Course lectures are supplemented by weekly field trips to various locations in and around the Tampa Bay area where students encounter wild birds in their habitats.
