The Werner Wildlife Museum will host a series of free bird-identification classes each Wednesday from now until May 13 at 7 p.m.
The free Murie Audubon bird identification classes will be led by local bird expert Stacey Scott and Casper College biology instructor Luis Alza Leon. Both men have been avid bird watchers for many years and are well-versed in the bird species found in Wyoming.
The series does not require registration, and each class is a stand-alone unit that covers a different set of birds, so consecutive attendance is not required.
“We are excited to host these classes because they speak to our mission of education,” says Dalene Hodnett, Casper College director of museums. “It’s a great opportunity for our extensive collection to serve the birding community,” she added.
The Werner Wildlife Museum, located off the Casper College campus at 405 E. 15th Street, is free and open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
